CHRISTMAS CACTI, et al

                                               My pink Christmas cactus is ready to burst.....

AND
My older white one....

                                        Not so much....hope the buds fulfill their blooms....

And my NEW White Amaryllis--is forging ahead...


                              I am hoping it will send up its stalk soon...



Looks like:                    THREE SURPRISE SHOOTS ON THIS ONE......

                                               CHRISTMAS ANGEL WATCHING OVER US

                       "We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas,
                                     We wish you a Merry Christmas and....

                                                          A Happy New Year..."

                           Hubby surprised me with this little blue spruce all lit up...;💕💕

  3. As the days grow colder and shorter, it's even more important to see growth. Thanks for sharing.

  4. My Christmas cactus looks sad, and dejected. I just can't find a good spot where it is happy, and cat free.

  5. Your plants are lovely.
    I inherited my mother's black thumb and any plant that enters my home, does not last long.

  6. It all looks great. I’ve never been able to get a Christmas cactus to rebloom. I’m told they need a certain number of hours of darkness, but I can’t remember how it works. My amaryllis stalk is about 18 inches tall now with no sign of the flower opening. I figure it can’t get much taller.

  9. Those Christmas Cacti are sometimes little miracles--you never know if they will bloom or not but the beautiful flowers are worth all the anticipation. You hit the jackpot with your amaryllis--it's going to be awesome!

  10. I love all your pictures! I do hope the cactus bloom. [do not move or rotate, do not overwater.] My friend gave me an maryllis too. Color?? I wanted one. I have two
    shoots so far.
    The tree in the darkness is very wonderful and special!

    love

  12. I love seeing your flowers and plants. I'm awful and end up killing most plants. The tree outside all lit up is so pretty! Your home must look lovely for the holidays!

  13. Beautiful! I love Christmas Cacti. We just started our Amaryllis bulb this last weekend. No Amaryllis blooms for Christmas, but we should have some lovely flowers in the new year.
