A few months ago, Nora--who cleaned my house--gave me a few cactus leaves, just snapped them right off hers when I admired them. "Just stick them in the dirt," she said. So I did.
Admittedly I am not an experienced gardener like some of you, (Kate, Jan, Gerlinde, Chris, Veronica, and Joy) but I was thrilled this morning to walk out and see that one of those buds had popped open and exploded into bright yellow. Like magic!
"Easy Peasy, huh?" Kate wrote when I sent her the picture.
"If it's cactus, yes!" I wrote back.
I guess I'm a cactus person; all my succulents are happy. They seem to do just fine with planters like me, the kind who just stick a leaf in the dirt and go about my business.
And to top off the pleasure, this beauty came from a leaf that was wonky and dry and almost got tossed! She looks very much like the yellow rose of Texas on this her birthday.
