The sun has finally come out, late afternoon, but it has been a cold day today, with an unpleasant cold wind (which has just started to pick up). Had a routine dental appointment this afternoon and when I got back home, I noticed that the first flower on my little Christmas Cactus had fully opened. Thought I'd make the most of it - after all, a day without using my camera is not my favourite kind of day, LOL! Hope it sends out lots of cheer : ) Rebecca (Red-Star) - this is to celebrate your successful, but bittersweet, house sale.

Another shot of one of the blue and white flowers I bought from Safeway a few days ago. I believe the colour is achieved by standing the flowers in coloured water. Each flower soaks up a different amount of the dye, so some flowers are white with just a touch of blue, while others are more like this one.
