My Christmas cactus has been blooming the whole month of November and I haven't had time to tell you about it! This plant is at least 10 years old and super low maintenance. Give it a sunny window and water it once in a while, and enjoy. Suddenly I'm questioning why I don't have another one in a different colour! I may have to indulge. (My inferior photography abilities do not do this plant justice!)
Yes, gardening and plants (and taking down spruce trees - exciting news coming on that front! but no, sadly, I didn't lose any in the windstorm) are always at least in the back of my mind even if I don't always have time to post about it. This is a busy time of year at work (@ Mount Royal University - the marking! the meetings!) so I'm going easy on myself - expect just a few posts this month as I focus my time and energies on family and holiday festivities, and then the blog will start up with regular posts again in the New Year.
Have a wonderful, festive December, everyone!
I think you post a picture of this plant every year, and each time I see how beautiful it is I want one.

You're right, I do! I am repeating myself, I know, but I can't help it 'cause it's such a gosh darn beautiful plant. Get one!
Cheers!
