Best seen LARGE!
Here, the true colour of the flower can be seen & the delicate feathery stigma (the pink part in the middle sticking out). While a big plant covered with flowers is a beautiful sight, I take more delight in a closer look at the intricate & wondrous structures of flowers
Nepenthes truncata ( from Latin: truncatus = terminating abruptly) is a carnivorous pitcher plant species endemic to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The species grows at an elevation of 0–1500 m above sea level.[1] Nepenthes truncata is characterised by its heart-shaped (truncate) leaves and very large pitchers, which can reach up to 40 cm in height.
Schlumbergera truncata is a species of plant in the Cactaceae family. It is endemic to a small area of the coastal mountains of south-eastern Brazil where its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist forests. It is the parent or one of the parents of the houseplants called Christmas Cactus or Thanksgiving Cactus, among other names.
Special structures characteristic of cacti, called "areoles", occur between two teeth at the end of segments. The areoles, which have brown wool and bristles up to 3 mm (0.1 in) long, are where the flower buds appear. The flowers are held at a constant angle somewhat above the horizontal with the higher side different from the lower side (zygomorphic, specifically bilaterally symmetrical). The flowers are about 6.5–8 cm (2.6–3.1 in) long by 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) across. There are six to eight tepals, which may be of various colours, including shades of red, orange, pink and white. The outer tepals (those at the base of the flower) are shorter and bent backwards, the inner tepals are longer and fused together at the base to form a floral tube; nectar is produced at the base of this tube. The lower inner petals are bent backwards so that the upper inner petals appear longer. Plants flower in the autumn: around May in their natural habitat, in October to November in cultivation in the Northern Hemisphere; short days and long nights are necessary to induce flowering.
Thanksgiving Cactus
I'm unsure of the color of all of these. Started from cuttings from Grandma B. on 4.25.11.
A big carnivorous plant, like 30cm (12inches) long.This is a shot of the mouth. At the Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle, WA.
Photos taken in Piesse Park, Katanning. A park with a small lake/pond that is gradually being revegetated by a group of volunteers.
This is a picture of my Yellow Thanksgiving Cactus fruit/seed pod. The 'father' is Red Thanksgiving Cactus. It's a couple months old now.
