Day 305: Huernia zebrina (aka Lifesaver Plant) is a star performer among my houseplants. From tip to tip, its blossom measures a full inch and a half. The "lifesaver" in its center is 3/4" across. It blooms sporadically but reliably, coming into flower several times a year. As with my assortment of Christmas cacti, it is moved from the plant shelf in the loom room to a place of honour in my living space when it feels like putting on a display, but sometimes it sneaks a flower in on its window-facing side which I fail to notice until it has faded. This one took me by surprise when I rotated the pot during a watering.
