I came down this morning to find my cactus has 6 tiny little buds on it. I hope it blooms so I can enjoy it. We will be traveling to see my daughter for Thanksgiving and I'm hoping to see at least these 6 before we go. I never knew there was a difference between the cacti. Some bloom around Thanksgiving, some around Christmas. I've had this one bloom at Valentines and st. Patrick's day in the same year. I thought it was odd it would bloom a month after it had already bloomed. Most don't keep their blossoms long after blooming. If you look closely you can see the 3 little buds I got in the photo. I'm just thrilled to see them on it. Sometimes it won't bloom at all.
But I've been reading up on them. So hopefully this one will do better.

| Denise, my little cactus also has several little blooms budding out and getting bigger. I still think we are a week or more from any of them opening up. Last Spring, I repotted this cactus into a larger pot and it grew bigger and healthier looking. I hope this year it will be filled with blooms . Only time will tell! |

| I just recently fertilized mine. Maybe that gave it the little boost it needed. It has never had very many blooms on it. |

That sounds like a great idea Denise! I think mine needs re-potted, I can’t get to it right now.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

| Mine is inching closer and closer to begin opening the first booms. Very exciting! |

| I won't know what mine is doing until I get home. Hoping the blooms are still on the plant for me too see. |

| They are so pretty, blooming at a time of the year when we need a little brightness and color. |
