Blooms in the cold

Here's a plant update. The top is the violet that just opened it's blooms. I didn't know what the color was going to be, but this is a very rich, jewel toned redish purple. It's beautiful, and I'm sure the photo doesn't do it justice. Next is the mixed cactus. These are some of the most recent coral color blooms. There are also white and vibrant pink blooms on this plant. And finally, the giant cactus that is very heavy with blossoms has just begun blooming. I have a cool photo for a bit later of a double blossom at the end of one of the pieces. It's so nice to have some color in the cold, cold weather.
