Description

I just love this pretty and delicate cactus flower and look forward to its beautiful blooms each year. I have several in my garden in Sydney, Australia. They flower in Sydney around Easter or a bit later, hence the common name Easter Cactus and the colorful Autumn or Fall bokeh.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, I believe some flower also in Easter which of course is Spring up there.
