Schlumbergera
It's my first Green Thumb Sunday! I thought I would show my schlumbergera in bloom. I put it up high so we can all admire the hanging flowers. Just below it, my Thunbergia is still blooming nicely:
I got this Schlumbergera years ago. It was sitting in someone's office on the window sill, apparantly abandoned from a previous owner. It looked a bit shiveled up, and even a little ugly. I felt sorry for it, so took it to my own office and gave it some loving care. Looked like a cactus to me, I didn't know what it was. This was in the summertime.
A few months later, during November, it put on this most gorgeous show! Well, at that time, there were maybe 4 flowers blooming. I was so surprised and happy to have found and rescued this amazing plant. And it has been with me ever since.

Welcome to Green Thumb Sunday :)
Your Schlumbergera looks much like a Christmas Catcus!
Oh, you joined the Green Thumb Sunday! How nice! I tried to install the logo on my blog last week but I did not succeed.... ;-((
Beautiful, lively colors.
Have a great Sunday!
How vibrant! I think you're being rewarded for rescuing it :-)
Welcome to GTS!
I got one last month full of flowers but is not looking so good I have it the patio. Think I'll bring it in the house.
I love the pink colour!
Welcome to Green Thumb Sunday. Your Schlumbergera (more commonly known here as a Zygocactus) is beautiful. My neighbour has one like that with huge flowers. I'd never seen them so big, and I hope the pieces she gave me will all take root.
