My Christmas Plants 2018 and 2019

I can not believe my Christmas plants have survived this long. It pleases me to know that the one from 2018 survived as it was the one we bought when Dad was with is for Christmas and it was his last Christmas with us before he passed away. They are both Poinsettia plants.

CT scan Wednesday. First one since February. Hope everyone is feeling ok.

You must have a green thumb. I can never get my poinsettias to live past January. All the leaves just fall off.

I have a ct tomorrow. Feeling a little anxious. Hope it all goes well and reveals good news for both of us.

Pretty plant...I have Christmas cacti that get flowers at that time of year but pointsettas are something else!

Good luck to you and Staysha this week with your scans...if you’re anything like me you’ll be panicking over the results...hope the wait isn’t too long and your results are good

Hope you are ok.

I have a sunflower that has amazingly lasted, will flower soon, now at hospital waiting for treatment, had to have bloods done as gp couldn't do them, get results of my ct scan next week. Good luck with your scan

[Hidden in reply to Kiera49]

Hope treatment went well today. My GP doesn’t do bloods now either. Interesting you have a sunflower survive. I’ve planted 5 at our allotment. When they Flower I will take a photo.

Take care and talk soon.

Yeah treatment went well, better now it's only 3 months, next week get results from scan. Will take a pic of my sunflower when it flowers, looking forward to seeing yours.

Beautiful Cheryl.

I have a Christmas cactus that looks like it’s dead all year round, then miraculously comes to life just before Christmas - lovely.

Good luck with the scan

Interesting Clare. They don’t need to much attention to survive x

Your poinsettia's are lovely. You are getting to enjoy them for quite a long time. Maybe they will still be around for Christmas. Blessings, Hannah

I hope so Hannah 🙏🏼

Amazing!

I can’t get my poinsettias to keep their leaves either. When we lived in central Florida, I planted one outSide after Christmas and it actually bloomed the next year. I was both surprised and amazed! My Christmas cacti do great, but they mostly bloom around Thanksgiving. I try for an amaryllis at Christmas but my timing is usually off on those too! Yours are doing so well, your name is very fitting!

[Hidden]

I adore,Christmas Cacti. I have one that flowers at Christmas and one that flowers Easter. I’m just a plant nerd really. Wish it was warm enough in the UK to plant a Poinsettia outside. There is a tree that looks beautiful. I love Amaryllis but have never grown any. You will have to post some photos on here if you have any luck with them.

Take care

Cheryl
