No matter how much cooking I have to do today, every time I start to feel a bit exhausted I will just think about what is happening at your home in Kelowna and know I have it easy. :-)kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11162971.post-43745930390001710042012-12-24T14:24:15.900-08:002012-12-24T14:24:15.900-08:00Wow!

I hope it turns out spectacularly!!! <br /><br />the secret to getting your Christmas Cactus to bloom is - trumpets & drum roll - at least 12 hours of darkness. Mine stay outside under the picnic table all summer - no direct sun - North would be the best but I face West - and come in just before the first frost. They've already set buds & bloom when they come in. The cuttings in the jars on the window sill - forgotten for a couple of years - are blooming now since they set buds later because of the house lights. You can put the plants in a closet for a week or in an unused room to force them to bud.Sharon in Surreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864797100804511728noreply@blogger.com
