Description
The Rose Easter cactus has delicate rose-colored petals with a deep rose pink throat. Other features add extra color to the Rose Easter cactus, including the deep pink filaments, and yellow anthers. The Rose Easter cactus, which was discovered in Brazil in 1911, is a slightly different species than the ordinary Easter cactus. Depending on the gardening reference you consult the Easter cactus is known as Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri or Schlumbergera bridgesii. On the other hand the Rose Easter cactus is Rhipsalidopsis rosea.
Each very attractive rose-pink flower borne on this compact, nicely proportioned shrubby plant closes each evening during 7 to 10 days before it finally shrivels. Each opens to 4cm (1 and 3/4") diameter each morning, and all appear at the tips of the branches in April and early May.
