I love the Holiday cactus, sometimes called
the Christmas cactus. The colors are wonderful and the plant is
long lasting. I have had several for years. I will aways have
them in my garden. If you wonder, "How did BT get onto Christmas
cactus, where did he hear of them?" Click
here for the answer. You might be surprised. They are beginning
to bloom a bit this May, 2008 and September, 2008, and I enjoy
them so much. I hope you like my photographs.--BT, May 2, 2008

one must see with one's mind's eyes, for the heart and the mind
are the true lens of the camera."
