More Old Heirloom Christmas Cactus
Yesterday featured the Crestview Times-Gruff newspaper and their local story of a woman and her ancient christmas cactus. Today we feature not just a local newspaper story, but a video. Yes, a video.
Enjoy!
This video comes courtesy of the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, and this time I am not making up the name. That name is for real. I love small town papers!
Jean Zieher of Wisconsin Rapids… has a Christmas cactus she’s had for more than 40 years….
“Old Man Cactus” is a large plant, with red-toned blossoms tugging at its leaves. Blossoming plants might not seem unusual. But this one? It’s likely more than 70 years old….
While it might not be a family tree, the plant has a history. Jean’s grandmother, Katherine Schenk, originally had the plant.
And the article came with a pun! A pun! (See italics above.)
