Schlumbergera is a genus of succulent that is, generally, split into two groups 
for the purposes of domestic house pants.  Those generally descendants of the 
species truncata have yellow pollen, stem segments with pointy edges and flower 
earlier.  Those based on the species russelliana have pink pollen and stems 
with rounded edges.  I list them in the general timings of their flowering.  
It's not possible to be very precise about all of this because the damned 
things hybridise as vigorously as orchids, pigeons and doves and all the other 
organisms famous for the practice.

Flowering is triggered by day length.  They need a solid 12 hours a day without 
light over two weeks at reasonable (16-20degrees C) temperature to cause buds 
to form.  Once formed they are prone to dropping if disturbed.

If they get too much light the stems turn bright red.

In a previous life, I grew greenhouses full of these things and had to get them 
ready for market at Christmas time.  The best way to trigger flower budding was 
to cover them with black plastic bags about a week before you wanted them to 
start.  For some reason, nobody wanted to buy them like that.  As mentioned, 
there was no point in selling them once budding had begun, as they would all 
fall off on the way home or shortly after.

Excellent both technically and artistically.  I looked at it before reading the 
technical stuff and noticed how sharp it was, guessing that it was a stack.
You also did an excellent job of not blowing out the highlights, which can be a 
challenge when photographing flowers.

Nice one.

Are there varieties for different seasons? I've got one which has been
sold to me as a Xmas cactus.
