Pink Cactus Flower


I snapped this beautiful Christmas cactus flower at my brother's house about three weeks ago. It was such a joy to see when outside was gloomy and snowy.


Since the lighting was poor and I was not in a perfect location, I took the pictures as best as I could.  This Christmas cactus flower was just at the beginning of its bloom.


When these flowers were still young, their colors had the tone of pink color, but when they were all open, they turned to white color. Have a great weekend!

Enjoy other entries at Pink Saturday, Today's Flowers, and Mosaic Monday!

I love Christmas cactus. I have one in red and so far it blooms each year around Christmas. This one is such a pretty color.

Don't worry about the lighting Icy, these flowers have a light all their own. Your macro shots are beautiful.

cactus flowers are very unique and pretty, and love the way you captured them, very silken and beautiful.

So pretty! A kindergarten teacher I tutored for gave me a Christmas cactus about 4 years ago. Last year, it started blooming and is doing so again this year! I'm so excited- it's the first plant I haven't killed! The blooms on mine are red--you have inspired me to take pictures of it!

It's pretty. I only started appreciating cactus flowers after I saw the pictures of the ones you take. They're surprisingly beautiful.
