Itīs winter here in Sweden now, so I have to have my flowers in pots on the windowsill. Here is one of the flowers that brightens the dark November days for me now. Hope you will enjoy the Crab Cactus flower too :-) NOTE: In Sweden we have a saying that goes like this īA child that is loved, has got many names`, and that seams to be the case here too :-). I looked it up on Wikipedia and itīs called "Holliday cactus", Christmas cactus", "Easter cactus", "Crab Cactus" etc. -They are composed of several closely related species in the genus Schlumbergera (often called "Zygocactus" in older works)- Anyway, it is a beautiful flower, that brightens up the dark days of November for me, and I hope for you too :-)
