Seasonal Splendor

It's cold outside and the skies are often gray and many of the trees leafless, but inside our cabin, our Christmas Cactus was not to be deterred.  It wanted to be bright!

This plant is often called a shrimp plant, since, when open, it's blooms resemble this aquatic creature.  Other common names are Thanksgiving plant or Christmas cactus, depending upon when the blooms arrive.  Since our plant opened its first flower just days ago, it decided to be a Christmas cactus, and most likely it will be full of vibrant, shrimp shaped blossoms come Dec. 25 :)
