It is so difficult to choose a favorite Schlumbergera bloom.
How can one possibly pick a favorite among these lovely and vibrant contestants?
It takes an experienced judge to discern which one should be given the honor.
Should it be salmon, orange, fuchsia, red, white or pink?
The competition is tough, but not Ruth-less.
Our wise judge seems to be pointing to the salmon-colored Schlumbergera truncata.
Such an appropriate and well-thought-through decision.
So the salmon Schlumbergera has been selected Supreme for 2018.
Great call RBG. Keep up the good work.

It’s good you left this important decision in the hands of the great RBG. I love her little figurine among the flowers.

Mine are blooming as well, but I am having a hard tme figuring out how to keep them happy. The buds are opening, then shriveling and getting moist and sad very fast. Is that normal?

Bud drop may be due to dryness or drafts. Check for both. Move them somewhere else. Try banana water. Some of mine looked sad and I gave it to them. Soak banana peel 24 hours in water. Then dilute by 1/2.

The salmon one you gave me is blooming for the first time this year—I love it! It is my favorite also.
