Advent Day I: Schlumbergera

[lblanchard]

Two of my Schlumbergera have started blooming today: the big red one in the sitting room that was the pod parent for the 2009 pollination (the pollen donor was an upright white); and one of the pink/magenta ones in the second floor bathroom.

Also new today: one of the small plants from the aforesaid pollination has buds. They have some color to them so I think they're going to take after Mom.

'Madisto' has yet to put out any buds. It has either become a New Year's cactus, or is taking a break. I'm hoping for the former. 'Gold Charm' has one immense bud.

A 'gold charm' bud at this early stage in its career is a fine thing. My 'madisto' is just starting to bud out. A few of our grandbabies are an inch tall.
