   Beautiful picture of these intricate blooms. We have several of these Zygocactus growing in hanging baskets and when they are in bloom they look terrific!
   Many thanks for your continuing participation in Floral Friday Fotos.
   Best wishes for a very Happy New Year!

    Love the way you used the back light through the petals in the Christmas Cactus. I am just learning what to do, but looovee the flowers and do have artistic eyes so have been enjoying what nature gives us, again without any touch ups.

    Beautiful! Mine didn’t have very many blooms this year, so I’m glad to enjoy yours.

    Wonderful, beautiful blooms!
    I like the way the light comes from behind to cast the shadow forward to get a reflection.

    Happy New Year!

    A sense of exotic elegance in these flowers and their shadows! So stunningly beautiful!

    Re your comment about pop ups! I close and open the site many times to check for links and there is no pop up! There is no advertising on the site at all! But I’ll keep a wary eye and thanks for your concern!

    Happiest New year to you!

    Mmmmmmmmmmm, the flower photo and the sunlight…well, it’s scrump-dilly-icious!!

    I had to go buy me a couple of the Christmas Cactus plants at the nursery the other day. Now, let’s see if they survive the year and bloom as beautifully for me as it is for you.

    Happy New Year…
