    I'm in mourning....

    My poor Christmas Cactus died! It was a good size and over 20 years old, and I don't have the faintest idea what happened to it. A few years ago, one big section died off, but the rest of the plant thrived. Then this summer it started looking sick, and finally just succumbed to whatever ailed it.

    I think I'm going to have to pay Maggie (Pinot's Mom) a visit, and make off with one of her huge ones! If that doesn't work, I'll be forced to pay a visit to a local nursery that sells them, and actually buy another and try again.

    RIP pretty cactus. I'll miss you.

    Aww, that's a shame, Ellie. I can't imagine what happened.

    I've told you before, though, you're not big enough to carry mine out!

    You got that right! I was planning on bringing a helper to assist with one of those monsters. They sure are gorgeous!

    Hmmm --- is it lavender? Most are the pinks and reds, and every time I see a lavender one I've been tempted to buy it, but of course I never did. Guess now I have a valid excuse to do it.

    Wow, 20 years old. That's a record isn't it? It had very pretty flowers.

    I can't have plants inside, sigh. I have cats that go after any plant they see. I have to hide my cut flowers in my bedroom until the cats are asleep.
