I don't know what triggers the Christmas ...Ami,<br />I don't know what triggers the Christmas cactus to bloom. Maybe something to do with the temperature flux or the hours of light they get. Mine sure is mixed up for some reason. As for the Black flamingo it did look nice. I can confidently state the one I have didn't like the cold.<br /><br /> Deb,<br />Looks like lots of Christmas Cactus are mixed up this year. I hope it warms up and stays warm soon also. It's disgraceful to have to wear long pants ,socks and a shirt in South Florida.<br /><br />Kimberly,<br />Best I can tell the weather dudes have been recording El nino cycles back till the early 1900's. It's nothing really new but it helps to understand the rain and cold we have been getting this winter dry season.<br /><br />Susan, <br />The Black Flamingo was a neat plant. The key word being was . Now it looks like a worn out corn stalk. From what I have managed to read there's a good chance it will come back again to it's former glory. Hope so!sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-61321222547889783802010-03-03T13:45:06.657-05:002010-03-03T13:45:06.657-05:00The unusual amounts of rain have been very welcome...The unusual amounts of rain have been very welcomed this winter, but I am ready for a little warmer weather.

I have my eyes on that black flamingo for a while now. Since my shaded area is quite limited, I decided to hold on this. The flower and the foliage both are beautiful.
