Today I give thanks for my Thanksgiving cactus – schlumbergera truncata – which has finally found its niche in the growing season.
It began producing flower buds the third week in October. Said to be in flower for the American Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November).
But it peaked too soon!
Maybe it was too warm once we put the heating on.
If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving today, make it a good one.

So pretty and looks very healthy. I have a couple of Easter cactus, they never flower on time but such a joy when they do.
