    One of the plants that I moved indoors recently was the Thimble Cactus. I guess it liked it, because it bloomed!

    Good things come in small packages. That's a dramatic photo.

    I've never had much success in getting cacti to flower for me. :( You've obviously being giving it the tender loving care it needs and have green fingers. Those little flowers are so pretty. :stew2:

    I can't take any credit for getting it to bloom. I just leave it alone (with an occasional watering). It must have had something to do with coming indoors for some warmth.

    Sheesh, even your cacti blossom for you! That's lovely and I'm envious. I'm going to ask Frank to pout in an emoticon for green-faced envy so I won't have to type so much when I respond to your posts!

    You're too kind Marlin! My secret? I just leave the plants alone! I'd probably kill everything in site if I put too much thought into it! :D
