15Dec05 Christmas Cactus Blossom - 9308

Connecticut

Photo a Day, Day 260..Was clearing off the back window ledge and found out my Christmas Cactus was blooming all over the place facing the window so I couldn't see it... turned it around and took this shot as the sunlight was hitting it.

I agree very delicate and beautiful. Good clarity and soft colors.

That is such a beautiful plant: so delicate and thin looking pedals and the faint blend of white with pink with bold centers makes it a really neat looking flower
