Christmas flowers synchonized at last, almost


All my Christmas flowers bloomed at the same time.
Well, not exactly. First the tiny white narcissus filled the living room with a light fragrance.

As the buds of the Christmas cactus began to burst, the first pot of narcissus was fading. Fortunately, I had a back-up from the produce store, where I also got a pink poinsettia.

Meanwhile an amaryllis I started in October had buds of vivid red by Christmas Day. Not exactly as planned, but still beautiful.
