Christmas in bloom
By Felder Rushing
My Christmas cactus finally came into bloom – right on time, luckily, with no help from me.
One of the easiest garden arguments, other than the right folk name for Philadelphus (mock orange or English dogwood) and how to pronounce pecan, is over whether to call these holiday favorites Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin probably isn’t sitting at the popular table of today’s Washington Republicans because he worked for President George W. Bush two decades ago.
In 2001-02 he was the chief economist of Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, and from 2003-05 he was director of the Congressional Budget Office. He also was the chief economic policy adviser for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, which further excludes him from influence with President Trump’s people.
