Christmas Cactus or Schlumbergera x buckleyi. First flower of 2017 in kitchen.
Comments on this photo
It is! It's a very brilliant pink, a neon pink I think best describes the colour. It is flowering very early this year & many of the other plants have buds. I only came across this flower by accident as I was moving the plants around trying to get my Amaryllis out of the kitchen window as I wanted to cut their leaves off, forcing them into hibernation.
I have an orange one with a bud that will open in the next couple of days as well. There is a dark red one which will still take a week or so to open.
I also have a big one my daughter gave me for Christmas 3 or 4 years ago. There are no signs of buds on it yet but when it does eventually flower it makes the most wonderful display!
