My Christmas Cactus is early this year

[Terrywoodenpic]

Every thing seems to have lost it's seasonal cycle
Global warming, not covid or brexit to blame this time.
my Christmas cactus which tries to take over the kitchen
is flowering early this year, might be largely done by Christmas.

XT30 with ancient pentax screw 50mm f4 macro.

 

[4wd]

Our massive one is also just opening in a barely heated hallway.
It's at least 50 years old inherited from Gran, and it was almost as big as now when we got it in1968.
Bits die back from time to time but it regenerates.

We got this one as a cutting from some one some 25 YEARS ago. The original plant might be ancient.
They sort of go on for ever. I added a little soil this year to its hanging basket, as it was getting very low but apart from a little water ever six weeks or so, and a very small feed once a year it just looks after itself.
