Wow !
I'm going to check out that site ~
I've seen pink / red - but yellow ???
Thats a new one for me !

Funny story about my Christmas Cactus ...

I always been into plants ... but it was my one
and only CC that got me REALLY into plants ...
(I have made plants from it for friends)

I moved into a new house in college ...
and I picked out my room .. it was bare and empty ;
but there was something in the corner ...
It was a wooden blue pot ... with a sprig of
(what looked like) a dead cactus ...

Well I took that sprig that day ...
Repoted it ... gave it sunshine and water ...
and I really nursed it back to health ...

Over the years its turned into this HUGE
three foot wide stunning dark green with red flowers,
Christmas Cactus ... it blooms like clockwork
around the holidays in December ... its really a sight to
see ~

I really love that plant ... has to be at least
10 years ago that I rescued it !!!

Now ? Those green thumbs
of mine are out of control !
~ lol ~
