Mother Nature Topped Herself---for Me!


Six
years ago I bought a full flowering white and pink Christmas cactus and
every year  since then it has started to bloom in November being in
full bloom by Christmas. This past November/December/Christmas
not
a bud. The same thing in January but when I woke up Wednesday, February
1, the first day of my 19th Leap Year month I saw it!

 

There
were buds on the plant almost overnight and by Thursday a couple were
opening up. Yesterday, Friday, February 3, 2012, Leap Year month the
buds blossomed and the plant is loaded with buds and blossoms!! ONLY
MOTHER NATURE COULD HAVE PLANNED THAT!! Here is the progress and I will
keep on posting pictures as the month goes on.

   
    
     


******************************************************************





February 29th is special...

It's the reason that a season comes at the same time every year.

If you're born on Leap Day... Welcome Home!








Just 23 days to our next birthday!

Beautiful! I'm still old school enough to think a blooming Christmas cactus is special. Do you think that years ago it was harder to get them to bloom, and now hybrids have been developed that are more lenient?
