Fascinating post. Thank you. ...Good morning, Nancy. Fascinating post. Thank you. No, reading about Madame Ganna Walska & Lotusland here is a first for me. I love cactus, succulents and euphorbias, especially what we call Christmas Cactus and Thanksgiving Cactus. I recently learned the different between them - the Thanksgiving Cactus has a jagged edge, but the Christmas Cactus is rounded without points along the edge. Adding to my collection of leaf color as often as possible.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-87923036912964963212015-08-18T22:58:00.182-04:002015-08-18T22:58:00.182-04:00Thank you, Anita.

No, I've heard of Madame Ganna Walska or Lotusland, and I have a deep respect for anyone who values botany over jewelry. Kudos to her. <br /><br />Lotusland is going on my bucket lists as one of the great botanical gardens I'd like to see someday.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your research with us.
