Sometimes Monday ...


... is a beautiful day despite the very gloomy, gray, rainy, and dreary weather. I haven't been in MD for two weeks, so I was delighted to be greeted by my Christmas cactus when I stepped into the "plant room".

My SiL divided hers (it was twice as big as this one) and gave me half last year. I put it in what I hoped was a good location, and it looks like the plant has been happy with its new home. I'm so glad I didn't miss the show.
  

 Flowers are indeed magical!

    WOW, just WOW! What a nice greeting on your arrival, and I can't believe that thing bloomed the first year. You must have a green thumb, Bonny.

    You must have been thrilled to be welcomed back to MD by that beauty! It's gray and rainy and windy here, too, but I'm glad it's not snowing!

    Oh so lovely. I saw some awesome orchids at a friends place Saturday. It is very very gloomy indeed outside in Wisconsin the past few days.

    Your cactus is gorgeous! Mine is half the size, but the blossoms look much like yours. I am thrilled its in a second bloom!

    I have cactus envy this year - between you and Vicki, at least I can enjoy them vicariously. (Does John water the plants while you're away?)

    Gorgeous cactus. I saw some small ones at Trader Joe's last week and thought of you. The flowers on this one are such a soft pink. I am glad you didn't miss the show!
