Thanksgiving Cactus

Species: Schlumbergera truncata.

I have been growing Christmas Cacti (Schlumbergera x buckleyi) for many years (probably more than 10) & this week I've been given some new cutting. I now have Orange & White to add to my Pink & Red ones!

These should rightly be called "Thanksgiving Cactus"(Schlumbergera truncata) as they flower in October/November rather than December/January as the true (Schlumbergera x buckleyi) does.
