I am surrounded by stars.
Schlumbergera stars.
The blooms of dreams.
They appear when needed most.
Darkness is coming. Coldness is coming.
But not here, in this room full of vibrant colors.
I care for my own galaxy.
It sends back the light from brighter time.
In the form of flowers.
FLOWER
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!
