Thanks Arthur. This was another plant I had purchased from the Japanese grower in Gardena. I think the season is over now, but I have several of these I purchased. They will bloom again next spring. #10171527Arthur Bohlmann June 07, 2012

What a beautiful cactus flower you have found. The wonderful tones from pink to magenta are such lovely eye candy and your expert photography has given us a marvellous study of the form of the flower.
