Indoors/Outdoors
There are several cacti growing in the sunny front window. I have never been able to get them to flower, but in the wintertime they make me think of the desert and heat.
It is a bit colder today (-6C this morning) and looking very white and frosty outside. It has been this way for a few days now.
Zygocactus Blossoms
One of my houseplants has begun to flower. Cooler nighttime temperatures and shorter daylight hours with very little artificial lighting provides the perfect environment for setting buds. These lovely tropical cacti are native to southeast Brazil, and similar to many orchids, are epiphytes, tree dwelling plants.
Hello There! What's This Now?
My zygocactus is putting forth buds again. The last time it had beautiful blossoms was well before Christmas.
