Having trouble finding critters, so flowers are front and center at the moment. We have a Christmas Cactus flowering at this time, appropriate, except it started just after Thanksgiving and is going full bore right now.
1. is the bud
2. is the flower before it opens
3. is the flower fully opened
4. is a cropped image of the pistil and stamens

You did a good job, these are pretty flowers but it is hard to do them justice with in a pic.

The Christmas flower plant is Zygocatus.

Thanks Geff, much appreciated. I think it is because the flower is longish and complex and doesn't have a way one can get the lens into it. Thanks for looking and your comments. Have a great Christmas, and keep shooting!!
