My Schlumbergera truncata bloomed profusely from mid-December 2022 until mid-January 2023. Usually that would be it until next year, but "she" surprised me with a second eruption of buds and is now flowering again! It is delightful to have the added flowering period since this month has been so cloudy and cold.
The end of the Cladodes split open from which the buds emerge.
