Holiday Cactus and Bougainvillea  Holiday decorating here in Southern California is noticeably different than what I was used to back in New England. We spent New Years weekend with a good friend in the California Desert back in 2012, and when walking around the neighborhood we spied this holiday cactus. The plant and ornaments alone were pretty cool but the backdrop of the Bougainvillea made it special. Seems to me this would be a bit pricklish to decorate, don't you think? It was a vivid reminder that you will find beautiful holiday decorations wherever you live, or visit, and it's fun to see what people create at their homes, inside or out - whether it's traditional in your mind or not!! This is an entry in the Holiday Fun and Cheer December Challenge hosted by Anna Banana Kruchten C... 12/10/2020

Desert Decorating for the Holidays  Coming from New England after many years, it took some time to get accustomed to different types of holiday decorating out here, and flowers blooming over the holidays instead of snow and ice. But we quickly adapted, and I continue to enjoy seeing different kinds of decorations inside and out for the holiday season here n Southern California. We were in Palm Desert and La Quinta several years back over New Year's Eve and I spied this cactus (one of several) in this yard.  A rather prickly decorating job no doubt, but I thought it was pretty cool, and just a tad bit different from the pine trees we got so used to back in Boston. 12/20/2017
