Bleeb………. you earthlings have such deep thoughts.

Yes, and this year they all bloomed in the first part of November!

He does have a poinsettia there.

And this has proved that …………….. ………………. ………………… cacti bloom without regard to the presence or absence of Christmas merchandise. Great. Worth every penny.

Funny how they always bloom a few weeks after the first rain, it is almost as if they are atheists.

Notice how Bleeb prefers the non-holiday side.

Soo does Santa get an A for this project?

Nature vs Nurture. I guess I win the dollar bill. “Trading places” is one of my go to Christmas movies. Odd, I know, but here I am.

It all depends on when you take them out of the cellar where they have been resting.

For once, my Christmas Cactus is going to bloom right around Christmas. My Easter Lily, on the other hand, blooms whenever it feels like it.

how much did that study cost the tax payers

A little help here, Bleeb. My cactus won’t do anything! Maybe it got coal in it’s stocking? :)

Bleeb is over there singing carols to the other plants!

That’s either too deep for me or I have had too much Red Bull to try and focus my brain on the abstract transcendental and metaphysical… ooh, look… there’s a bug in that one!

A new bloom is popping up everyday on my Christmas Cactus—so pretty!

Well, at least McPherson allows comments. Why the hell Brooke McEldowny won’t with 9 Chickweed Lane still remains a mystery to me. I welcome any ideas.
