Doc--

This is just for you--to give you a chuckle...

Remember when we had those super high winds sometime back in beginning of October?
I even posted how my biggest X-mas cactus pot, along with 3 others, got blown off this tall
stand I have outside--under my patio?

I gathered up all the pile of broken off pieces and put them on a big plate and took it down in my shop.
They sat there forever--and still do. Way over a month now....
As they started blooming--I potted up some of the bigger chunks. The rest are still there...
Now THEY are blooming.....I just went down and took a picture....
I will cut these back and root up the better pieces when I get a chance.....

The blooms are NOT blue--they are the pink ones. Must be my camera.....
Diehards--aren't they? Shows that succulents have most of their energy for growing in their foliage--
not necessarily roots....
