A Garden on a Windowsill: Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera) Has Bloomed






I showed you the very small Christmas cactus, it has only 4 branches. Bright amazing flowers have bloomed on each branch. Few buds fell down when I inadvertently turned it, it's a pity. 
What a pleasure to see Schlumbergera blossoms before Christmas and New Year.
Do you have a Christmas cactus? Does it always bloom?

      Я еще посадила небольшой отросток другого цвета, но он пока не цветет. Надежда. Конечно декабрист красив особенно зимой.

    So lovely to see Christmas Cactus upclose and personal. These are rarely available in the tropical region in my place. I always wanted to grow something like these but not practical in my zone.
    Merry Christmas!

    It's very beautiful. I have 4 of them. They have been in bloom all autumn. The flowers were out in the summer. I brought them indoors in September.

      Interesting Anne, Schlumbergera bloomed in Autumn. I should try to grow it outdoor in Summer too.

    I had one of these for several years, then all of a sudden it died. I don't know what caused it but I haven't been able to grow one since. I love these blooms. I made a small sketch of the last one I had.

      Lisa I do not know what happens with Schlumbergera, many years ago I had one, and it also died.
      This one is still a small flower, but it blooms well.

    Many years ago I had one. I loved it and then suddenly I was tired of the brilliant pink, and gave it away. These days my geraniums flower in December if I give them a bit of TLC.

      I do love geraniums in bloom, Jenny. It's pretty to have blooming geraniums before Christmas, you care them well. Mine are growing new leaves now, I think they will flower in spring.

    Le cose più belle della vita non si trovano sotto l’albero, ma nelle persone che ti stanno vicino nei momenti speciali.
    Buon Natale!
