Today's flowers - Winter Cactus

In a snowy winter like that it's good to have some winter flowers inside,
and some sunrays outside, from time to time.
I took this picture in my mother's house with its windows having sun all afternoon long.


Schlumbergera is a genus of tree-dwelling cactus from Brazil introduced to Europe by the Kew collector, Allan Cunningham (1791-1839), in about 1816 (Wikipedia).
Thank you, Allan!
