My Christmas cactus, which flowered with admirable accuracy in December, is now about to break out into wonderful magenta blossoms again. So is it really an Easter cactus? Or is it a Christian cactus which flowers for major church festivals? (In which case, will it come into bloom again for Greenbelt?). Along with the little pink flowers on my other indoor succulent I don't know the name of, and the early fog clearing to yet another gorgeous sunny day, it really does feel that spring is at least partly sprung (though the weather forecast on my desktop predicts 10º today and 2º tomorrow, then 9º the next day. Confused? I will be).
