    I had such an urge to plant something a while back that I dropped 3 tomato seeds in a pulp pot. They are looking quite good too!

    Nice variety of blooms on your christmas cactus. No windows in my room, so a philodendren is all I can grow (it can survive the week-end dark). Good job!

    Very nice colors! The yellow one reminds me of one called yellow charm.

    How lovely!

    Your yellow cactus is beautiful! I have never seen one like that, but I am a novice gardener. I am new to this forum. Thank you for sharing your lovely office garden. :)
