Christmas ? Cactus

This is my just after Halloween, almost made it to Thanksgiving, Christmas Cactus. Hillary would correct this statement because it is her Christmas Cactus. She rescued this sad tiny Christmas Cactus at a plant sale back in second grade (more than 15 years ago) and knew that someday it would be a great plant. Indeed she was right ! I need to keep my wits about me and in the fall take it away from the window for a few weeks to stall the blooming. In 2009 maybe it will be a Christmas Cactus again. In the meanwhile it's great to enjoy whatever holiday it blooms for.
