Have you ever noticed that in November, stores are arranging their Christmas decorations to tempt the customer?? I noticed some this week. They do look cheery. I am a gardner. And there is one particular plant that I really enjoy raising--Christmas or Holiday Cactus. They really are not members of the cactus family, being succulents. Mine are in full bloom now in October and November. Boy are they lovely colors. An artist would have a great time painting these colors. The above photo is from one of my favorite Christmas Cactus plants. "Christmas is coming. The Christmas cactus are blooming." My Mother always had a few of the plants out in her back patio when we would drive the 160 miles every Christmas to visit her and my Dad. Her cactus always had some blossoms on them with their wonderful neon colors. How beautiful they are. Have you started your Christmas shopping for your loved ones and friends? I started today, and ordered some things. What a good feeling that is! It really stirs the Christmas feelings inside one's mind. Christmas is coming, the Christmas cactus are blooming. Get ready! It will be here soon.
