Thanks, Mike. This was a cutting from one of Chris Dean's plants that I acquired after he passed away. I've had it since April and it's been in bud for a couple of months. I don't know anything about the species and was surprised to see it in flower yesterday.

Thank you all for your entries.
After considerable deliberation the winning photo is Terry's "another Schlumbergera hybrid".

Very close contenders were Rod's Lithops & Cptyledon and Alan's Conophytum.
Over to you, Terry .....

Thanks Tony
I'll try to think of an inclusive all-rounder seasonal theme.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
