My Easter cactus on my kitchen window sill

I noticed orange tips showing on the cactus, indicating that soon it'll bloom bright orange flowers

Gosh, the light is just so pretty, Jenny! How lucky that yours blooms! I have read that it doesn't bloom for some because they treat it like a desert plant instead of like an orchid! Interesting! :)

By the way, I left a reply to your comment on my Henderson's Fawn Lily but just in case, here it is! :)

Oh wow what an absolutely gorgeous looking flower - I just love the shape of them and their colours are wow. I can fully understand why you wanted to give these amazing flowers a blog of their own. They are really fantastic. I've not seem these before and now I know their name, I'm hoping I will be able to maybe buy some seeds of them. Your photos are just fantastic as usual.

Hi Jenny! :)

These flowers grow from small, fragile bulbs or corms and though I did find one place that sells seeds, they are out of stock. Also, it takes 3-5 yrs to produce flowers from the seeds---that is if you can even get them to grow. The corms are very tender, so I've read and plants that are dug up often die. Going the seed route takes great patience and good fortune! I am afraid that it may not be possible to grow this beauty in your garden, but if you are willing to wait 3-5 years, this is where you can find seeds when in stock: klamathsiskiyouseeds.com/product/erythronium-hendersonii-hendersons-fawn-lily

Oh okay - 3 to 5 years for seeds to grow and that's not guaranteed. Hmm methinks I may just not go for getting these beautiful flowers. I'll just have to satisfy myself and look at yours instead!!!! I don't know if I'll be still here in this house in 3 to 5 years and I wouldn't have thought they would grow very well in the hot climate of Turkey. Thank you so much for getting me the info anyway.
