| Beautiful Fushia Color Blooms |
 |
| I must confess and tell of my love/hate relationship with this plant.. One Sunday ,several years ago, several of us ladies were talking about blooming cactus.. My reply was, " they really are not pretty plants, only when they are blooming, and you have to wait too long on the beautiful blooms!!!" Well, the next Sunday, 3 different ladies showed up with me some cuttings [leaves waiting for me to root].. OH desperation---- I don't want to mess with these!!!!! But, I feel too bad to throw them away.. So, being the lazy person I am, I tossed them all in a glass to root.. In no time, they were all rooted together.. SO, I just got a little pot and potted them all together.. I wondered what I would come up with??? What color? What month? Well. my Thanksgiving cactus,, doesn't bloom unitl almost Christmas. And only 1/2 of it blooms and it has these beautiful fushia blooms. Then when they are all dead and gone ,usually about first of Feburary the other 1/2 blooms with a light pink bloom.. So, the moral of the story is: I am hooked!!! even though ,it s ugly for most of the year, the beauty of the blooms are so worth waiting for.. |
