You learn something new every day
Both the Thanksgiving and the Christmas Cactus fall under the genus Schlumbergera which I learned as Schlumbergia years ago. The Thanksgiving Cactus has little spine-like notches coming off it’s leaves (just like a crab claw hence that common name) whereas the leaves of the Christmas Cactus are smoother. The Thanksgiving Cactus is timed to flower in November/December whereas it’s December/January for the Christmas Cactus. —From How to Grow Christmas Cactus
Today was day for learning: in addition to learning that my “Christmas Cactus” was actually a “Thanksgiving” or “crab” cactus, I learned how to ftp into my currently under construction wordpress.org account, and how to fix the mysterious problem of the disappearing posts within it. I am so-o ready for a good night’s sleep.
Maybe this year?
I’ve never had one re-bloom before. If it does, then the secret is neglect.

Is this the end?
Wordless Wednesday
One that got away
We usually eat all of our artichokes, especially the larger ones, so we don’t see the flowers, but were away for three weeks and this one got away.
A rose by any other name
Nootka Rose
This one is bearded
Iris
Not sure what kind these are, they aren’t dutch and they aren’t bearded.
Columbine
My neighbors have many beautiful colors and shapes of columbine in their parking strip garden.
