Christmas
Flowers
One of
the lovely gifts I had for Christmas was a huge poinsettia plant or I
should say plants ,because I think there are actually 3 separate
plants in the pot. There are 2 red ones and one white one and as far
as I know you don't get these plants with different colors on a
single plant. It is about 2feet tall so it is indeed a large plant. I
do hope I have more success than I have had in past at keeping
poinsettias alive. I know some people manage to keep their plants
going from year to year but mine usually don't make it much beyond
January. I will have to check out the gardening books and do a better
job.

| Not many blossoms this year |
The
other plant that I have had success with in the past is a Christmas
cactus. This plant was doing exceptionally well up to last Christmas
with lots of blooms just at the right time. Over the summer it
gradually started to lose stalks and leaves. I couldn't figure out if
it was getting too hot or too wet or if it had caught a bug of some
kind. So this year it is not so robust as it was in previous years. I
am just hoping it regains it's zest for living and comes back to full
growth next year.
It is
such a beautiful plant.
