Flowering Cactus

Flowering Cactus

My mother has this very beautiful Cactus in a pot and it is full of beautiful flowers. I am not sure but it looks that this is a False Christmas Cactus or Schlumbergea Truncata. The photo above shows the beautiful color of the flowers. Below you can see the plant in its pot.

The photo below shows the leaves, with their tiny, but sharp thorns. You can clearly see the segments the leaves are made off.

Below is a close-up of the flower, look at the beautiful color.

Below you can see the reproductive parts of the flower, they form pear shaped seeds after flowering.

One last close-up of the flower.

The photos were taken by me using my iPhone.

Hope you like it.
