Schlumbergera truncata

just wonderful

beautiful...
I got one of these from mom once, it was real healthy looking but not in bloom but I killed it before it ever had the chance to :(

Thanks guys!

Thats a pretty one ! Mine is still in bud Meanie ..

Lovely colour.Are they also called forest cactus?

I've never heard them called that before, but it could be because they would never survive outdoors in the UK.....

I am not so sure but I heard it somewhere.

Meanie:

Great shot! Love the color of the flower too! :>)

Camillia:

Maybe it's called forest cactus because it's native the the rain forest of South America?

Thanks Delonix! That's the answer then as well.

Meanie:

You're welcome! Not sure about the answer though.

Thanks Delonix :)

Very pretty. :o))

Thanks again Mushy!

I'd love to look at the whole figure of the plant, if I could :)

Will do Tommymoo!

Thanks Meanie!
