A few years ago, I had already presented , the botanical species Schlumbergera russelliana on this website
Schlumbergera russelliana is the second botanical species of Schlumbergera to be discovered, and it was described in 1837.
This year, a particularly beautiful clone of this species bloomed for the first time in my collection.
Thus, I decided to follow a bloom from the birth of the bud until the complete blossoming. I take this opportunity to speak again of this species, uncommon in collection. To make this presentation, I use a succession of nine photographs.
