Description
Nancy's Christmas Cactus is caught during a rare blooming event with this pink/magenta/fuchsia flower illuminated by morning light a few days before Christmas.
Although known as a cactus, this plant is really a succulent, the Schlumbergera truncata. Commonly known as a Christmas Cactus, Thanksgiving Cactus and/or Holiday Cactus, this beautiful plant is named for the seasons in which it typically blooms.

Thank you, Lois and Ruth, for the kind words. We, too, like it enough to have a large canvas hanging in our home.

Thank you, Evgeny. My wife is happy every Christmas when her Christmas Cactus begins to bloom. I did that photo as a gift for her and a large stretched canvas now hangs over her piano. You, too, have some nice floral shots.
