Here are some macro images I got of flowers on my wife's Christmas Cactus.
It started blooming two days ago, and still has many buds to open up.
Used my Fuji XT-20 and 60mm 2.8 macro lens for these.
Do try the downloads for better viewing. Hope you enjoy these pretty little flowers.

Thank you NMGal. This cactus has been outside all summer on the front porch.
When it started getting colder my wife brought it inside. It wasn't long after that when it started blooming.

I used to have one that was in a 12" pot that grew indoors. The branches spread about 3 feet in diameter and bloomed like crazy.

Nice close ups. I have one sitting in a sunny window nearby. Mine was an off shoot of my grandmother's plant.

Very nice shots. Downloads look great.

Always liked them. My grandmother had one that went stupid. Bloomed like crazy. She took an offshoot and started one for me. It never did well no matter what I did or where I placed it. Had it for years. It bloomed once and promptly died.
