Pretty pictures: Schlumbergera cvv.

I've tried several times to come up with something meaningful or clever to say about these photos. This might be unnecessary: they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, after all. I always feel obligated to add a thousand words too, though, just to be sure. (Sure of what? I don't know.) In this particular case, though, words have failed. So I give you two NOIDs (including the just-purchased yellow one) and Schlumbergera 'Caribbean Dancer.'






(Oh! I did think of one thing to tell you! I made a point of trying to cross-pollinate some of the flowers, and I think I might have had a couple work out. The female parent in both cases was 'Caribbean Dancer;' I've tried using both the salmon and yellow plants as male parents, so if I get seeds out of it, I won't know where they came from, exactly. But oh well.)
