Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

How lovely are your flowers? (Sing chorus twice)

You’re boring green, while others bloom.

When winter comes, you light the room.

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

Schlumbergera truncata. (Hold the ….ah…tah…)

SECOND VERSE:

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

You are the cacti favorite. (Sing twice)

In summer we, your care forget.

In fall we smile and savor it.

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

Schlumbergera truncata. ( Draw out ah….tah….)

THIRD VERSE:

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

You are the star of winter. (Sing twice)

Your colors glow and brighten us,

When winter temp’ tures frighten us.

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

Schlumbergera truncata…

FOURTH VERSE:

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

How varied are your colors?(Sing twice)

There’s Golden Charm and and pinks and white,

and reds and peach. Oh, what a sight!

Schlumbergera, Schlumbergera,

Schlumbergera truncata… (HOLD “ah” loudly and spread arms apart, while looking at them lovingly.)

This is my secret to getting them to bloom like this.

Sing with the FLOWER!
