A Little Something to Brighten Your Day

I don’t know what it looks like where you live, but here it  is dull and drab, brown and brittle. What is usually hard packed ground has become inches of sand with zero moisture to hold the dirt together. The weatherman said just the other day that it has been over 70 days since we have had rain.

The award-winning cold front we have been warned about for a week has now hit, and boy, has it hit. At least it brought some snow-moisture at last.

So in light of all that, I think it is time for a little pick-me-up. I hope you enjoy-and I grew them all myself.

Alice -- what a treat! I'm sitting in almost three feet of snow here in Maine and your cactus blooms are nice to see. Are they blooming now? ina greenhouse? so gorgeous.
thanks

None of these happen to be blooming now, but I do have some in bloom in the greenhouse and others with buds forming. One of my life's little pleasures is walking into the greenhouse, or during warm weather walking through the big cactus garden outside, and discovering a cactus in bloom. It's a treasure hunt and beautiful flowers are the bounty.
