This is Mortimer. He's my Christmas cactus. He lives in Florida. I couldn't figure out how to transport him then properly declare him through customs.
When we moved to Florida back in April, this little guy was an eighth of the size he is now. Two scraggly, exhausted, desperate for Florida sunshine stubs of foliage peeked out from the dirt.
This is Mortimer yesterday. He's enormously huge and would you check out those blossoms? They're so vibrant and wonderfully Christmas-like!
I've been searching for a Cypriot Mortimer since we moved here but to no avail. I'll just have to settle for photos from Momma F from time to time to get my fix.
Way to grow little Mortimer!
We totally had a giant Christmas cactus growing up in AZ. I have ambitions of having another'n someday.
