Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter cacti and another blooming thing

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey


My cacti are going berserk! They were all just in bloom around the Thanksgiving time frame, and have all decided that now is a good time to bloom, again! I’ve never had this happen before. First one started showing buds, then the one next to it, until they all joined in. Do you think it’s contagious?

Now don’t get me wrong—I am not complaining. No siree. They are a welcome burst of color in an otherwise dull-colored winter scene. But why? I have salmon, fuchsia, white, and a paler shade of pink (not quite out yet).

My amaryllis decided to send up another spray of flowers as well. The first spray held only three frilly flowers, while this last one had four.

Just thought I’d share some of my color with you in case your skies are as grey as mine are today! (Note: photos were taken a few days ago when we had a nice blue sky.)

If anyone has any thoughts as to why my cacti are confused please let me know!

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
