Ok, then.. I thought I recognized this bloom. My Christmas Cactus is just starting to show some buds.
Your colour here is vibrant and very eye-catching. Good good focus/clarity. Nicely exposed as well.
Caveats?
If I may be bold.. think you could crop some off the left-hand side. And move away from the, more or less, centered placement.
Mind you, this is me without having been there.
I make mention of the above.. for a couple of reasons (and again, if applicable and doable, composition-wise.. i.e. no distractions off to the right if you were to shoot this one again).
Notably, the bloom that is 'cascading off' and to the left-hand side below your main subject here. This just might rest with me, but on this note.. I like the thought/idea of the continuation of the bloom and colour.. and would like to see more of, simply put. Think it would compliment your main bloom nicely and fill out the frame some more.
And I know I say this quite often, however and forging ahead.. make no mistake about my suggestions above. As I do like your image here. Just typing some thoughts out loud in the above.
And..
But, of course.. thanks for sharing this one with us. Looking forward to more of your Christmas flower shots. :o)
Kathy, a similar colored one and a white one of mine, are in full bloom now as well. I've made some captures/close-ups, but have my doubts whether I'll post them or not. Not because they aren't beautiful, but the quality of your one is unbeatable to me, ☺ .
Thank for this very fine Foofy Friday image, my friend.

That color is outstanding Kathy - it's a fine Christmas cactus and puts me inthe spirit of the holiday - like the angle of view - very nicely presented - Great Capture as well!!!:-):-):-)
