Bloom Day - Something is Better Than Nothing
I went outside yesterday to see what was available for Bloom Day, but I saw nothing worth photographing, though I did get a lot of work done. The sasanquas are still flowering nicely, but I showed them last month. I've also got some violas blooming, but I am holding them back for a January or February post. However, the Christmas cacti (Schlumbergera) are blooming on the kitchen windowsill. They all needed repotting this summer, and have responded well to the roomier pots and better soil. This particular one I am showing was a gift last year from one of the volunteers at the garden, and was grown by special needs students. I love its non-Christmassy color.

That is a beautiful Christmas Cactus. This is a good year for Schlumbergera. Happy Bloom Day.
ReplyDeleteSomething is DEFINITELY better than nothing and that Christmas cactus is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely bloom for the holidays and something is better than nothing.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, Les, and very much more than nothing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautifully colored bloom! I don't have a thing blooming right now--inside or out! The Hellebores have buds, as do many of the shrubs and trees, but no blooms. I guess that isn't surprising in December in Wisconsin. (Oh, I forgot: I do have a vase full of flowers from Thanksgiving that still look decent as they dry.) Happy Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteWell, we will give you some bonus points this GBBD after that wonderful posting on 'still fall'. It wasn't just your colors (which were stunning) but the photographic compositions which were inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLove that color, Les. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual colour it is. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful blend of colors! Much better than just one color alone.
