Schlumbergera

that is just gorgeous

It's a very old plant, too - a child in my class at school gave it to me years ago. Lovely pressy, wasn't it!

love these barbara, so pretty

aww that was indeed a lovely pressie :-)

I'm trying to work out how old it could be....it might be around 30 years old!

Lovely close up Barbara, wow 30 years, lovely pressy,I have a dragon tree thats 20 years old bought it when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter.

Ooo, this is a great color. Well done bringing it on for so many years. :-)

They are lovely. I nearly had one of these as someone gave me a couple of leaves which I put in my pocked, meaning to put in a pot when I got home. Unfortunately 4 days later when I rememberd they were somewhat worse for wear. I'll be visiting again soon.

What a shame - and you had a 'senior moment' Toto - at your young age! LOL.

Thanks - I always look forward to the flowers on my elderly plant!

This is so beautiful, and a very lovely pressi aswell.

I'm ashamed to say that I can't remember much about the child - I seem to recall that her name was 'Alexandra' and she had long dark hair, but that's it!

That's a lovely colour ... I repotted mine in the winter .. it didn't like it and died , i've bought a new one , there's no sign of any buds on it yet so I've no idea what colour it will be , they were in a sale at Home base for .49p .. I am keeping the old one in case it decides to make a comeback .......

WOW! Amy, that was a fantastic price! I do hope it decides to flower soon! :-)

do you regularly propagate it? I do mine every so often. mine is a mere 15yrs old. this is a lovely colour.

No - never have, for some reason! I should, I suppose.

Really unusual colour - beautiful.
