How does it know when to bloom?
Really?
I must ask my oldest niece whose many talents include gardening as she works for a gardening trade magazine.
Mom loved her Christmas Cactus.
I kind of have a green thumb.
I had a garden for many years as a child. I followed someone else's orders on what to do when planting beets, swiss chard, and everything else. I could not keep straight whether to dig a burrow or just stick the seeds in....very confusing.
But once I utilized someone else's expertise, my garden grew!!
Same thing with flowers and plants.
I handle most plants the same way...but I water, talk to, nurture, and try to keep them alive as best I can.
The way Mom's Christmas Cactus is flourishing this year can only be described as a miracle. It's not me. No way.
It's Mom and her gentle hand, her love, and yet another tangible gift she is giving me to remind me that she is not very far away.
Thank you, Mom!
