One of my favorites. It just shouts Christmas..I haven't had one for a few years but I was able to get them to bloom each yr. Maybe that'll be my treat to myself. I don't have a green thumb but this year my little angel in heaven has been watching over us. He died right after Easter at age 6mos. A few days before that his mom had gotten me an Easter Lily, which normally blooms and dies back till the next yr. Well, it is still green and has bloomed several times this year. My daughter's best friend had gotten her an orchid, one of my favorites too, and even though it has been really ignored and actually forgotten about, I went to move a table the other day and saw it there, its still alive with green leaves. It hasn't been watered in months and normally if you don't cut the stems off when the flowers drop off it'll kill the plant. Dead stems still on there and the plant is going strong. Now its time to get it blooming again. Happy holidays to everyone.
