Xmas cactus

Just around 1st-2nd week of advent, this type of cactus starts blooming. My mom seems to be a genius when it comes to cacti and orchids and getting them to flower like mad. This one is a baby cactus (its 2nd Xmas):

  1. A beautiful color in this flower.

    Use Niger thistle seed sold in "socks" or stockings to hang on branches around and they will feed from them.
