Funny I've just listened to a Dolly Parton song and it's not the usual country one.

Thanks Zigs, I've got some in a pot and it grows fast. If i cut it back after flowering it grows back again.

Lovely Logan

Some Feverfews still going too View attachment 100502

I love feverfew! Pretty, fragrant, and will grow in the most unforgiving places. Truly a gardener's secret weapon.

Christmas cactus, three of them. Last year they started blooming around this time and continued thru May.

It's nice to see a white Christmas cactus. People tend to buy the the colourful ones and ignore the white.

Good to see any cactus

These are so beautiful! They open pure white with bright pink stamens. Then the throat of the flower begins to flush pink and gradually the flower is mostly pink. They are very reliable bloomers, too, and extremely easy to propagate. Just break off a node and stick it in dirt. I bet I've given away 20 plants, and the big boy is only 4 years old.

Are you growing cyclamen out of doors? (lower right). If so, what is your climate?
