An extreme close-up of the flower of a Zygocactus, a cultivar (name unknown to the photographer...) of Schlumbergera truncata. The "Christmas Cactus", as the plant is known as, was formerly placed in the genus Zygocactus but has now been moved to Schlumbergera. Taken in the El Cerrito, CA Lucky store by a Nikon D40x at ISO 1600 with a Sigma 17-70mm ƒ 2.8-4 OS HSM macro lens. (at 70, macro mode) Exposure is 1/30 sec @ ƒ 4, VR is ON.
This is as close as the lens focuses - about 1:2.5 on the image sensor. About 2.5x life-size on my monitor...
Native, warm-season annual or short-lived perennial, erect, hairless, tufted C4 grass usually less than 50 cm tall and forming a dense low crown; sometimes short stolons are present. Stems are unbranched and flattened with a knee-like bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, usually with 6-9 branches 4-20 cm long. Mostly found along roadsides and in native pastures where groundcover and fertility are relatively low; rarely abundant. Readily colonises bare ground and areas subject to compaction or shallow soils. Native biodiversity. Of little significance for grazing, it has low to moderate quality and low productivity. Tolerant of set stocking and close grazing, it is better suited to sheep than cattle due to the low height of its foliage. Favoured by grazing systems that maintain low groundcover. It has little response to fertiliser inputs.
Aside from one or two trial packs from Renny Wong, which are still very small, we haven't delved into the pedigree truncatas. This one is just the basic Mesa Garden version, but it has developed a nice form and markings.

truncata hybrid, small pot shows same plant separated and given more water and heat then the one in the red bonsai pot.. (found the leaf rooting while replanting the little plant deeper.)
