That is a glorious picture!

Looking at that photo, one would almost expect to see a few marine fish swimming thru the coral. Lovely photo!

Thank you, but this is the merit of the breeder Morev.
He received this grade in 2001, when he was a very - very young guy.
All of its varieties are gorgeous!

I wish someone could take pictures of me that make me look that good as I am not that photogenic.

My thoughts exactly, for a moment I mistook this for coral! Clever photo @Larisa

Ok, it's January, and...


... Guess What I've Got??



... Can you guess?




... Do you know?




... Are you ready?




A Christmas cactus!!

You thought it was going to be The Everlasting Orchid, didn't you?!


Bahahahaha!!!!

You thought it was going to be The Everlasting Orchid,

Yes!!! How did you guess?

Very gentle Christmas cactus!

Fear not, for yet the orchid blooms on...

It's just after 7 months, I thought maybe I was getting a bit predictable, and that is a thing that just should never be. It's the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put!!

It is the first time I have posted the picture without being able to see the next month's bloom budding, so it may be missing next month.

Since I haven’t seen snow in 40 years, every snowfall is a treat. This is what I woke up to this morning.
