A gratuitous photo of my Christmas Cactus in bloom.

[Lex]

I don't know . . . it just brightened my dad a little this morning when I saw it in bloom, so I thought I'd share.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Happy Hanukkah! Etc.

:hi:

1. gratuitous or not

It is beautiful...

Mine died last year after 16 years...I think I will get a new one.

2. This is my first one. I got it last year in November of 2004.

Someone gave it to me as a gift.

I love it.

You should get yourself a new one as a gift!

6. I just might do that TODAY

I am feeling inspired...

All of my plants have died in the last year as a result of serious neglect due to my travelling back and forth from NY to CA. I am now home for good, so I think I will treat myself.

The worst part is I have a really green thumb. All of my plants were at least 6 years old. I have one left.

7. Are you sure this is a cactus?

I have the same plant at home and it is very beautiful. But I don't think it's a cactus...

Anyway, it's gorgeous :hi:

9. It's beautiful!

Great pic! My scrawny little thing is just starting to bloom, too. My cats found these plants particularly fun to play with!

10. My cat likes to bite all my plants too.

I have to put them up high. I never know what's poisonous!
