The World As We See It , or as we missed it … October 2012
“Real” Life Photography … November 2012
Zygocactus : Schlumbergera truncata is also known as Christmas Cactus, and Crab’s Claw Cactus. Photographed on black at Denhams Beach, New South Wales, Australia.
It is a member of the Cactaceae family and has flattened, spineless, pendulous branches with prominent notches at the margins. The flowers are asymmetrical in shape and appear at the stem tips. Flower colours range from pink, lavenders and reds through to oranges, yellows and whites.
The lovely Zygocactus prefers a warmer climate, but in cooler areas it makes an excellent indoor plant.
It flowers beautifully outside my front door in mid Spring.
I have always enjoyed photography and love the scope that a digital camera allows. I am retired, approaching threescore years and ten. The world around me provides endless photographic opportunities, from the abundance of nature in my own backyard to historic destinations around the world.

Beautiful, love the presentation on the black.
Byron, thank you very much for your beautiful comments and favourite ! The black really shows off the individual flower, which is tricky to do in the hanging basket.
