Hatiora Rosea

Day 222: A slip of this delicate "miniature Easter cactus" was given to me by a Norwegian friend some forty years ago. It took at least a decade for it to bloom for the first time. Its light requirements are somewhat uncompromising, so if I have left it too far back from the window as summer turns to fall, it will flatly refuse to bloom the following spring. Presently, it has only two flowers open, but almost every tip of the plant bears a bud. This looks like a good year for Hatiora rosea!
