Christmas Cactus
In winter, when the Christmas Cactus in our sitting room comes into bloom, Toot and I know that it will not be long before Santa Claus comes to make his annual visit.
The Christmas Cactus (aka The 'Thanksgiving Cactus' in the USA) is native to Brazil. Our plant, a descendant from her late Mum's cactus, blooms a number of times each year and each time it flowers it reminds us of her.
