My new Thanksgiving cactus popped a flower this morning:

This variety is called "Samba Brazil". I've never seen flowers like this before; they remind me of a macaw.

I got this beauty from Whitton Greenhouses in Delaware (went straight to the source, cut Amazon and eBay out of the loop).

Very nice!

Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.
