Plant a Day, Day 2 (Thanksgiving cactus)

,
Peach colored Thanksgiving cactus flower

It’s surprisingly full right now. Usually they have bloomed on the side facing the window. It’s really happy on the kitchen table.

I was trying to find a yellow one. This was full of light buds and I thought I’d scored. But, these damn things hate change and all the buds fell off when I got it home. I waited 6 months (or so) for it to finally bloom. And it is peach! Not a color you see often. So. I’m still pleased with it.

The fuschia and red ones got sickly and I let them die.

I did, eventually, get a cutting from a yellow one. And it’s not as big. But, it is healthy and gorgeous when it blooms.
