Our crazy holiday cactus has decided to bloom for Halloween this year, and we are celebrating it because there is a dearth of color in the garden right now – and for the foreseeable future. When last it bloomed it was February, skirting its usual holiday-oriented bloom time (which is a toss-up between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter). She’s putting on her pink splendor for Halloween, as if wanting to take part in the dress-up festivities. I’ll leave her to it.
