Late Winter inside Cactus blooms. and more late winter outdoor growth!

Red Thanksgiving Cactus February 21st

My Red Thanksgiving Cactus was blooming quite full today! Sometimes in Late Winter/Spring when the day length matches closely to that of November. Thanksgiving Cactus will give you a second show of flowers, Which I've been told by some is actually kinda rare. Actually surprisingly enough, All of mine but one are forming secondary flower buds! most are still quite small yet though, and will probably bloom sometime in March


My aunts Sprouting Daffodils February 21st

Well I'm not the only one with Sprouting Daffodils! My aunt down the street from me also has Daffodils sprouting along the southern foundation of her home, But some of her were surprisingly over an inch high already! some were so quick to grow they starting growing right through the snow! Actually it was her Daffodils planted along the south side of her home that inspired me to do the same. Because hers always came up with the first late winter/early spring warm up She was not surprised by there early growth, She said they always come this early! But Cold weather will hold these back from growing too much.

D, I understand how it could happen each year as a late Winter thaw takes place, but in February? Crazy. Thanks for sharing, that's pretty sweet!

No signs of growth anywhere around my house.
