2 Christmas cactus 'spoke'. My 1st nursery job (required: red shirt/kaki pants) was director of houseplants. When my 1st order arrived, a full 18-wheeler, you know who unloaded, into overtime, the whole truck. (Poppets this was before the days of immigrant labor. A college degree punching a time-clock & unloading trucks. Should we discuss my parent's horror? To this day, they abhor my career choice.)
It wasn't long before I was an expert on houseplants. Great JOY when Amy Leigh of

Happy to have the Christmas cactus but I've yet to wear a red shirt or sweater again. And I loved the job. Don't miss the 2 1/2 years of going to bed at 8:30pm everynite, bone tired; in my 20's.

I love Henry! He will grow up to be a fine specimen of a cat. His curiosity about your taking his picture will take him far. Very much like my Chaucer, a fine orange tabby who is now 16 years old. Keep us posted on Henry's growing up.
I had house plants, but it's difficult with cats and let's not forget to mention the puppy. I've given up for now and focus on the outdoors. I know my time will come!
I will be soon enough and now I have a great resource.
Thanks Tara!!
Best wishes for a wonderful 4th of July!
