Zygocactus is one name for this beautiful plant, Holiday Cactus, Easter Cactus a plant named for some of the most popular celebration times of the year - I think that says something about the longevity of this particular plant.
It's an old plant, passed on from one generation to the other and never seems to lose it's allure for pergolas and balconies and windowsills in cooler climates.
I believe they originate from Brazill which surprises me as it flowers in cooler climates, it's a joy each year to see those buds appear and bloom in so many different colours to bring joy in it's own inimatble way.
Not bad for a epiphyte that usualy grows between 1000 and 1700 metres.
Treat yourself to one of these hardy, beautiful plant pots of colour and joy.
