My Christmas Cactus's are done blooming for now they will bloom again the end of December but my Geraniums are in full bloom . Hope you don't have to much tree branches to tidy up at the cottage ! YUMMY as always ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteMy geraniums are gorgeous!
DeleteLove the flower and those white sparrows too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dez....
DeleteThat is me and the boyfriend!
My daughter has given me 5 birds....one for each of us.....3 baby birds too!
Love them!
Our cactus is pale pink almost white and has been blooming for a couple of weeks. I think it's about done now. We had 30 cm. of snow here last night!! Crazy. Lots of clean up today. Off to choir practice soon. Christmas music. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI had 4 very large older cactus....they all died last winter....this was a new one I bought last Spring...
DeleteI know it usually takes them a while to get established....
I see you got ridiculous snow....we are snowing tonight!
Such a pretty flower!
ReplyDeleteJane x
Yes, it sure is!
DeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy.....do you have any house plants?
DeleteJust Aloe for when I burn myself in the kitchen. Though I would love a herb window.
DeleteNice bloom and nice recipe . . . . . :)
ReplyDeleteyum
Hi Eddie......
DeleteThe cod was so tender and flaky.....fabulous!
Yum . . . see you on Master Chef . . . . lol
DeleteHa ha ha!
DeleteI wish! We had a delicious rack of lamb last night.......delish!
Well that's two meals you can cook !! . . . . . . . lol
DeleteDefinitely Master Chef material.
Hey Richard is in the Semi Finals next week . . . .
Lovely bloom, and it looks like you have three more on the way. I hope the cottage is okay.
ReplyDeleteHey Dixie.....odds are they won't open. :o(
DeleteIt is the nature of the beast....
I only had one bloom on one of the Christmas cactus, but I gave it a huge trim last year along with a transplant. Of the two smaller plants one had 3 or 4 blooms and the other just got a few buds. I'm hoping for a better show in the next round of blooms. Dull day here mostly clouds all day with the odd little snow flurry. Hope the cottage survived the windy weather of last week.
ReplyDeleteI lost all my mature large cactus last winter....guess they were burnt out!
DeleteI find sometimes they get buds.....but they just drop off....
Snowing here tonight.....quite pretty!
Hi Linda, don't fret, it will grow more beautiful each year. I just posted a picture of Marion's Thanksgiving Cactus yesterday. It's been around for a while much like her, lol...Cod sounds good although, I am prety stuffed right now.
ReplyDeleteYes ~~Louise~~ I know.....I must be patient!
DeleteI will come by and check out Marion's cactus!
You better lay down.....hahaha!
I'm stuffed, to the gills, if I have any.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying the holidays (and other times too) get better, but not everyone has the same vision for friends and family that I have.
*sigh*
With God's help I can learn to love and be welcoming in spite of those who make gatherings difficult.
Thanks for being a friend.
<3
No problem Martha♥️
DeleteThat's a gorgeous bloom. The colour looks so nice with all your 'whites'. Dinner sounds delicious again,Linda. I love fish. Enjoy your trip to the cottage. Sounds like you will have the same weather as us tomorrow. Looks like it will be +8 by Sunday. We have more going on at the property so we need the good weather. I'm picking out kitchen cupboards this weekend so it must be getting close to the end. *groan* Hugs
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh...what colour? White? Cream? Blue?
DeleteCan't wait to see the end results....so exciting!
Pretty bloom against your white décor. Love the little china birdies. Tweet, tweet!
ReplyDeleteThere is a story behind the birdies♥️
DeleteI bought what I thought was a Christmas cactus and found out it is an Easter cactus. It blooms each spring with lovely yellow blossoms. It's hard to tell the two plants apart. They look very similar. Your cactus' bloom is beautiful. I used to have one that color, but it died. Time to get a new one.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well at the cottage.
Hi Kathy!
DeleteMy mom had one at her winter Florida house, and they called it an Easter cactus!
I wonder if that is an American term, as hers bloomed at both times!
Mine usually bloom twice as well.....late Fall and Spring....
Enjoy your weekend!
Love your lonely bloom, but not so lonely because it's getting lots of attention in your lovely home. Hope you have a nice trip to and fro the cottage. My son and family are in from NY for American Thanksgiving and yesterday was so much fun when they arrived from the airport with the two little girls. Today they're visiting friends and then moving to my daughter's for a couple of days. The little five year old really loves Grandma's chocolate chip cookies! :) Have a nice weekend and keep warm...
ReplyDeleteOh Hester.....so glad you had visitors♥️
DeleteAre you joining them at your daughters?
Had a great day....cottage is fine....just a few twigs down......phew!
Enjoy your weekend...
Yes, I'll be joining them with a lasagna that's just in the oven. Isn't that what we Grandmas do? :) Glad your cottage is fine. Have a nice weekend too...
DeleteHave a great time.....Grandma!
DeleteOMG cc girl.
ReplyDeletesuch exquisite pictures here.
thank you!
have a wonderful SUNNY weekend. xo♥
Hi Tammy...
DeleteNo sun...rain moving in..temps going up again!
A beautiful bloom indeed!! I hope that you are having a sunny day over there. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Amy...
DeleteI wish I could say it is sunny....but alas...not! You??
I LOVE this plant! What a perfect time for it to be blooming. This time of year we need all the colour we can get as it's pretty dull out there. Thankfully, all the Christmas lights are starting up out there and it's looking a lot cheerier! Happy Saturday (and rest of the weekend) to you!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas Cactus is lovely! I had one that color several years ago! I can't seem to keep them alive for more than a couple of years but they do manage to jump into my cart when I'm out shopping. ha. Maybe I'll try again this year.
