I've had this Christmas Cactus for about 10-15 years and I never really thought about the color of it until now. I guess since it's in full bloom, the question about it's color came into play.
When you purchase a flowering plant for your home, do you just buy the plant because you like it or do you take the color of it's flower into consideration?
I know these plants come in various colors and I think my #1 choice would have been red but it is what it is and I have fuchsia. Beautiful plant, beautiful flowers but does the color really go with my decor?
You can see the colors in the rug and column that I've circled are close to a burgundy. How do you think it looks by the cactus color?
For the 2-3 times a year it blooms it really shouldn't be a concern but for the main Holiday which is Christmas of course, it really is! Everything else in my home is gold and burgundy. During the year it really doesn't bother me but it seems to clash a bit when the main color of Christmas is red.
What do you think?
That Christmas cactus is so beautiful and colorful, it deserves to stand out. Mine is just sitting there, waiting to bloom in February or March! Never at Christmas.
