A couple of days ago I wrote about this plant basically saying  there
is my amazing Christmas cactus plant that I have had a few years. It
once again is in bloom this year having only missed 2011 BUT it did
bloom in time for my Leap Birthday February 29, 2012--that was strange.
Now it is even stranger as in the past few days among the pink flowers
some white ones have bloomed!

Just
when you think you have everything figured out Mother Nature throws a
curve ball at you. Last year I cut off a few pieces of the mother plant
and potted them around the house. Most have continued to grow giving out
green leaves but no flowers---until today!!! I was getting ready to
water the plants when I noticed one of the odd potted plants had bloomed
a white cactus flower!!

Why
only this one boggles my mind but I have come to learn when it comes to
her you just have to accept whatever Mother Nature throws your way and
to just revel in what she bestows on you.

I
know the northen half of the USA is having wild storms and will
continue to while we have a high of 81 degress today! I really shouldn't
gloat but she can change things around here in a minute. As it is we
have not had a hurricane in 8 years so I really shouldn't tempt fate by
saying "Don't you wish you were here where you could spend the day on
the beach and take a swim in December?" I won't even think about it
though I know when we start freezing here with temperatures in the 40s
and 50s, for a night or two, you won't feel any empathy for us.
In
any case I want to publicly thank Mother Nature for a beautiful day and
surrounding my apartment with beautiful flowers and I wish you all a
happy, warm, present filled Christmas holiday week!
