Zygocactus x exotica ......................................................................... Zygocactus x "Fortune Queen"
N.B. : The Schlumbergera (Zygocactus) which are hybrids of the“exotica” group (first photo) have ribbed cylindrical stem segments. They are hybrids of Schlumbergera opuntioides (therefore their particular vegetative aspect) with Schlumbergera truncata or Schlumbergera X buckleyi.

............................................................. Zygocactus x "Star Dust" ....................................................................
N.B. : This Zygocactus, whose stem-segments have an unusual shape, blooms in spring, due to the fact that it isn’t really a Zygocactus, but a Japanese hybrid, between a Zygocactus (Christmas cactus) and a Rhipsalidopsis (or Hatiora or Easter Cactus). The ovary looks like a Rhipsalidopsis ovary, and the bloom tepals are tubular, as one can observe it in some Dahlia.

Zygocactus x "Thor Britta" ....................................................................... Zygocactus x "Thor Carmen" .........
N.B.1 : The Schlumbergera (Zygocactus) which are hybrids of the “exotica” group have ribbed cylindrical stem segments. They are hybrids of Schlumbergera opuntioides (therefore their particular vegetative aspect) with Schlumbergera truncata or Schlumbergera X buckleyi.
N.B.2 : The Schlumbergera (Zygocactus) which are hybrids of the "buckleyi" group ( the Christmas cacti of our grandmothers) are hybrids between Schlumbergera truncata (white stamens) and Schlumbergera russelliana (pink stamens). According to their proximity with one or another of their two parents, some cultivars have pink stamens and others have white stamens ; the colour and the size of the blooms may be also slightly different according to the different cultivars.

Zygocactus truncata, (botanic species, original material collected near Teresopolis by Beatrix Von Orssich.)
__________________________________________________________
N.B.1 : Zygocactus x "Enigma" has a misterious origin. Every year, the blooms are different, it's always a surprise.
N.B.2 : Zygocactus x "Star Burst", previously photographied on my website under the wrong name : "Stardust", is probably an hybrid between a Zygocactus (or Schlumbergera) and a Rhipsalidopsis (or Hatiora)
