My Zygocactus grow in hanging baskets under a persimmon tree.
When the leaves drop from the tree the zygote come into bloom.
These two are very special to me as they were my father's. He was very proud of his collection. He had his courtyard draped with zygotes. With our extended years of drought since his passing at this time back in 2000, I have only been able to save these two colours from his original collection.
For My Dad. May he Rest in Peace.

A lovely collection honoring your father. It is very touching that, though they've changed a bit, they endure. . .like his memory.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
These look like what we call a Christmas cactus flower. I have never seen one in that lovely salmon shade, though!!! I love it, with the light shining through the petals!
