Old fashioned Pink Thanksgiving/Christmas Cactus
My Thanksgiving Cactus are swelling with 100s of buds in a promise to bring another beautiful display this year. My entire small collections has formed buds now, Which seeems bit early then last year, by about a week or two. The one above was taking as cuttings from my aunts 50 year old plant.
Yellow flowering Thanksgiving Cactus buds
This one above is one of my favorite colors. It came in to bloom by the 14th on Nov last year, It appears like it may be aiming for that same date this year!Red Thanksgiving Cactus buds.
I love watching these plants form buds in the fall with hardly no extra efford for me after they have been so green all summer! I will post photos when they start opening, just as I did last year!
In Oshkosh, at OSNW3, we are still waiting for our first freeze of the season. If it doesn’t come tonight, it may not come until November.
O, I have also not an offical freeze yet this year, I believe the offical freeze is tempetures of 28 or 29 for a certin time, I have had tempetures below 32 though one time. My coolest temp so far 31.F, and we might break that tonight.
