Happy spring to all my Readers and today’s blog is on spring cacti. Of course, I’m a little late as yesterday was the first day of spring. However, here at Farmhouse Magic Blog we celebrate spring all season long.
Spring Cactus
We all know and love Christmas Cactus, but I don’t think everyone knows there is a similar cactus plant that blooms in the spring called Spring Cactus. The leaves on both plants look about the same, however, the flowers are a little different.
Spring cacti also comes in a variety of colors like light orange and red.
Shamrock Plants
A plant we previously blogged about is a Shamrock plant also known as oxalis species. Also, see the centerpiece at the supper club retro party. They used a Shamrock plant to decorate their table.
According to my research, the Shamrock plant likes bright light. It has white, pink or rose-colored blooms lasting 2-3 weeks. The shamrock plant is known for its three-part leaves which some people considered lucky, (three leaf clovers). The plant likes moderately dry soil so check the soil before watering.
Shamrock plants with green leaves and white flowers, and Shamrock plants with purplish leaves and pinkish blooms.
Other Spring Blooms in Spring Cacti Blog
One of the many signs of spring are blooming daffodils with their sunny yellow blooms. Here we see daffodils, red tulips, and purple hyacinths.
Ending Notes on the Spring Cacti Blog
As you can see from this blog, there are many signs that the season has changed.
Some of these spring blooms are quick and if you’re not paying attention, you might miss them.
Now all I have to do is see my first robin of the season. That way I’ll know spring is here to stay.
The last couple of weeks, I noticed that the Canadian geese are now back in town. HONK HONK!! They know when things have warmed up around here.
As always, a Big Thank You to Merrifield Garden Center for allowing me to blog and take photographs of their “spring has sprung” garden store.
