The Curse Is Lifted

Coming into the house has always been the kiss of death for plants at my house. If they stay outside, they do great! Houseplants are usually dead within the week…

This fall, my friend Donna gave me a cactus start. It actually grew and thrived in our living room window! But Thanksgiving came and went and no blooms…

Christmas came and went, still no blooms…

I was beginning to think maybe the cactus was really dead but still looked amazingly lifelike…

Then this spring, little buds appeared on the plant! It is an Easter cactus! The little pale pink buds are so pretty and delicate! Perfect for Easter!

Now maybe I should try a Christmas cactus???
