Finally a little bud!

I've had this cactus for years, and it never flowered for me. Well this year, I noticed little buds on the leaf nodes about four weeks ago. I watched with interest as these started growing, and growing. It is a very slow growth process, and not to sure what the flower will look like. It seems that every day I look at it it's grown a little.

I have a Christmas cacti that blooms every year; and

it's also blooming now. This is a different cacti, with

bigger leaves. Here it is in early stage.

Pearls Of Art and Buddhist Wisdom

Hello Dear Friend Bloggers,
I've created a new Ning group called Pearls of Art and Buddhist Wisdom.

http://peacefulgoddess.ning.com/

I was originally in MSN GROUP; but they are closing their group services, and decided this would be a good place to migrate.

We are celebrating Green Tara Goddess of compassion in action in Tibetan Buddhism from January 26/09 -February 24/09
We will aim at reciting 10,000 mantras (333 a day plus one extra one on any day to add to the 10,000) .;-)
More information about the Goddess Tara can be find at Pearls of Art and Buddhist Wisdom.
The site is fairly new , and it will take awhile to grow again,
and transfer some of the existing data from the old site.
Hope you will join in, and invite your friends
Wishing you all a day of love and light;-)
