Life is "mind over matter". If I d
JB--Those are some nice flowers! ..including my red one..... Lovey dubby

My CC's, of all kinds, are not exactly bursting forth in full bloom.
May be the weather? may be too much night light? I don't know....
Thinking next fall--I may want to drape some black weed-block fabric
over the plant stand and shelving for the night to give them more dark

Here is my True Christmas Cactus piddling along with 2-3 blooms at a time.
They are pretty....but not a full blooming plant. This is on my LR window shelf for the winter.
Some are actually perking up--must be the warmth and the better light?

Compared to this show from November 2013
Note that on the TRUE CC--the blooms hang straight down and the "leaves" have smooth edges,
and they are more petite and dainty.
Taken in Nov. 2013.
