Flowers in Flight
Schlumbergera is a genus of the cactus family with numerous common names — Christmas, Thanksgiving, crab, holiday, Easter or Whitsun cactus. Names seem based on the time of cultivar flowering at different global locations. This example is from the 'truncata' species group of cultivars and flowers in my shaded outdoor Gold Coast barbecue area in June. Whatever, these flowers with some petals folded back look a little like birds in flight.
