Magenta Christmas Cactus Blossom

Although known as a cactus, this plant is really a succulent, the Schlumbergera truncata. Commonly known as a Christmas Cactus, Thanksgiving Cactus and/or Holiday Cactus, this beautiful plant is named for the seasons in which it typically blooms.

A black and white presentation of a colorful blossom actually brings out some detail in the petals that the pink/fuschia/magneta color seems to hide.
