I think it may continue to bloom for a while.

It looked all yellow at the time. So maybe you have the right to be disappointed. Maybe old cool houses fit these plants better than her apartment, since the plant blooms like yours.Araliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154376928367935489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-33332979940424774952009-12-28T20:38:04.052-08:002009-12-28T20:38:04.052-08:00CelticRose:

I have often seen the little berries on <i>Rhipsalis</i> cacti, but I have never noticed blooms before.<br /><br />You know it's funny I remember learning some time ago that all true cacti were of New World origin, but I seem to also remember hearing that <i>Rhipsalis</i> occur in Africa and Madagascar.

Rhipsalis is an obsolete name for it. Apparently the flower color and fruit shape fits better with Hatiora than with Rhipsalis.

I originally started them posting at 4:30 AM because I was getting up at 5:30 AM, and that way I could review them and correct any errors before too many people had seen the post. I'm not getting up that early anymore, but never saw a compelling reason to change the posting time. <br /mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-49344209995576627392009-12-27T05:44:44.007-08:002009-12-27T05:44:44.007-08:00Those close-ups are wonderful, Mr_Subj..a cheerful...Those close-ups are wonderful, Mr_Subj..a cheerful shade!
