My Christmas Cactus is blooming! Why is it so exciting when indoor plants bloom? Well, it is.

‘Tis the last rose of summer
by chuckofish
Behold the last rose of summer. (There are actually two others close by.) It got quite cold last week. Brave roses! I had to bring all my plants in from the “Florida Room” (see below). They are piled in and on and around the dining room. The rubber plant has grown a LOT and will need to be re-potted. Yikes.
And the geraniums soldier on bravely.
‘Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone…

Smelling the flowers
by chuckofish
Yesterday I went to the Missouri Botanical Garden with my Daughter #1 who is visiting from Washington D.C. And actually there were still quite a few flowers blooming in late September–including those on this wallpaper in the Shaw house. Lovely.
