I laid one little leaf of this 'Thanksgiving' cactus on the soil in this little pot 7 years ago. The leaf was given to me by a friend who was in his last days, losing his battle with cancer. This is all it has grown because I neglect it terribly. But it always rewards me with a few blooms during November and again in April in the past 5 years.

Comments (16)Cranes, when migrating, ride the wind in a novel way. They fly and glide loosing altitude until they find a thermal, and then they do a tight circle trying to stay in the thermal. If the thermal is small in diameter, they will circle and make multiple passes through the thermal. In this way, cranes use a thermal as an elevator to gain altitude. After gaining altitude, the flock will continue on their migration path until encountering another thermal to begin the process again. If you should be privileged to observe this behavior on a sunny fall day, it will appear that the cranes are playing or performing a mating ritual, but this is not the case. They are riding nature's elevator. Its a sight to see the entire flock all trying to ride the elevator at once. It appears chaotic with 10 or more birds wheeling in the air while dodging each other.

Comments (23)Nicole, I have them completely assembled, light bulbs installed, and ready for a second set of hands. I don't trust myself up on a ladder by myself :/ At least two weeks, maybe four. My baby will be home Thanksgiving, go back for finals, and then come back for winter break. So somewhere in there....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - Th 11/23/23
Comments (12)Second time that Frank has captured a Ruffed Grouse and brought it to the house! Usually, it’s just a mouse or vole. I’m not roasting it for him....See More

5 years agoLgmd, you will be happy to know those plants thrive on a bit of neglect and actually grow fairly slowly. So it’s the perfect house plant for people like us who don’t want to fuss with a lot of care. I can and so grow a lot of things outside, but these are my favorite indoor plant and all I have with the exception of one small jade plant.
Its bright pink but all I have access to on my phone at the moment.

5 years agoI think this is my pinkest epiphyllum. I have some that are magenta and one that is a more pastel pink, but this one I've had for many, many years.
