Rainbow Lorikeets enjoying the different flavours of cactus flowers in the Wollongong Botanic Gardens. The PiP taken shortly after the flying bird reached its target flowers.

The Zygocactus is flowering profusely. These also go by the name of Christmas Cactus, which may be appropriate in the Northern Hemisphere, but here in the south we're rapidly heading into winter. :-) Looks best on black.

I had some uncertainty about the name of this flower, but Isabel (Xata) has kindly confirmed that it is called "Christmas Cactus". It's flowering prolifically at present (see also PiP).

I had no idea of the name or botanical heritage of the plant currently blooming in our garden with these little flowers (about 12mm). While I had thought it was a type of cactus, I must thank neira-Dan and others in the ipernity community for correcting me and advising that it is a type of Sedum. The plant itself is shown in the PiP.

I really didn't know what these flowers growing in a pot may be. I thought bromeliad, my wife said cactus. Thanks to ipernity and, in particular, to aNNa schramm they now have been identified as an Echeveria species. I hope that Pam enjoys them too. Explored.
