Interesting 'negative spaces' between the leaves on the left Larry. Here's one of mine from years ago

Taken in 2007 it seems. I have just noticed a couple of flowers opening on possibly the same plant so must take another photo

Almost that time of year again :grin: who's got buds? I've got buds on two of my unnamed hybrids including the one from last year although nothing as yet on my Schlumbergera x buckleyi (too early?) and also first time buds on my Schlumbergera x exotica nothing on my Schlumbergera opuntiodes but it's still a couple of years off that, even if it has put out about 15 new stem segments this year alone!
