Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Happy Thanksgiving

In the United States, today is Thanksgiving, a day to reflect on all for which we're thankful.  One of my many blessings is the caring community of garden blog readers and writers who have become a part of my daily life and thoughts.  Thank you for being a part of this community!  Whether or not you celebrate this holiday, may your life be filled every day with things for which you're thankful!

Noid Schlumbergera  found among a flat of 1" pots in an after Christmas sale at a local nursery last year.  The orange buds made me smile but when they started opening like this I was thrilled!

Schlumbergera 'Thor Nille' found at Molbak's just last weekend. Collecting these can be quite addictive!

    Happy Thanksgiving, Peter! That orange Schlumbergera bud is exciting! I have an epiphyllum with similar colors.

    What a nice thought, and all the best for your holiday as well.
    Yes those could really be addicting. I saw a pot with two different colors together and my first thought was what an easy way to collect even more without overdoing the number of pots. Just think how many you could have if you pop three or four cuttings into each pot!

    My mother used to have those, but she called them Christmas Cactus. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
