My City Garden: Thanksgiving cactus

Thanksgiving cactus

I've been assuming for the last three years that my Christmas cactus was an overachiever, always blooming a month ahead of time and usually right around Thanksgiving. Who knew there is also such a thing as a Thanksgiving cactus?

Whatever it is, it's nice to see some color now that the cold days of not-even-winter-yet are upon us in Pennsyltucky.

Hmm. We seem to have a Pulaski Day cactus in our house.

About Me

Hi, I'm Kathryn. I garden in Zone 7a in Philadelphia, PA, where I'm trying to make my enormous perennial garden dreams happen on a tiny city lot.

Before 2012, I used this space to keep track of photos of my garden while maintaining a handwritten journal. Since 2012, I've been using it as that but also as a garden blog. You'll be able to tell the difference in posts.

Also in 2012, my back and side yards underwent a total transformation. I found out I'd been planting on someone else's property (it wasn't really mine) for 7 years. New homes went up and half of my garden was ripped out. I had to start all over.
