My dad’s old Christmas cactus…..

……..which was on its last legs so I took a bit off it and transplanted it into one of his small brown garden pots at least 10 years ago.
The original one was bought by my mum. When she died in 1990, he began to care for it.
Since his death in early 2010 it has lived here outside in the garden during the summer months and indoors the rest of the year.
I always begin to look for the buds beginning to develop early in November.
It has never failed yet.
