This cactus plant is the most determined living thing I've ever encountered. Why? Because two years ago my mother sent it to me as a gift. UPS dropped it off at our doorstep while my husband and I were away for two days. It spent two days outside in subzero temperatures. My mother in law rescued it and gave it to us when we returned. I nursed it for days (and mind you have I no green thumb) as I watched pieces of the poor plant die off and crumble. Weeks later it seemed to stop dying. With just a few stubs left I noticed it was growing! Now, two years later, it has flowered for the first time. Now that's what I call determined.
Tomorrow's randomly generated word is: crossroad
Just the inspiration we need after a snow storm.

I'd say that's one determined plant! I love Christmas cacti - have one that's been blooming the whole month of January!

I had the same thing happen with a cactua my SIL gave me. I had totally forgotten about it and left it on the porch for weeks. This is beautiful.
