@Sharon: Yes, it's one of my collection. The Fishbone Cactus is an Epiphytic in rainforests of southern Mexico, growing on tree trunks in the shade under their canopies. I've never seen it before and I was overwhelmed. Luckily, in Portugal I got a stem from a friend and it took seven years to bloom for the first time.
You were right there at the right time, and got a fantastic shot. It could be called Starfish Cactus, too...I think. Whatever its name, it is certainly full of vivid color. Congrats on being able to grow something this exotic.
Spectacular in every way. I can also see quite clearly how it got the name Fishbone. No doubt, it must have been quite overwhelming to come upon this miracle in the wild. And 7 years to bloom – my goodness! I guess good things do come to those who wait!
A magnificent macro, I love this delicate flower! Querido amigo, desculpe que nao estamos ca muito a visitar, mas depois da mudanca eu voltei a estudar, e estou curtindo o lugar e a proximidade com amigos, depois de um ano ou mais de isolamento na Belgica, eh bom sair de casa e estou meio que a evitar ficar em frente do computador. :) Tenho acompanhado as fotos pelo face. abracos e td de bom!

So is there a bud that you see emerging so you know to keep an eye on it in the evening? I am amazed at the number of things I miss in my gardens just by not being there at the right time. How do you know for example that it has taken seven years to flower, you might just have missed it.

Fascinating colours, Jose!

@Joan, this cactus is next to the door, I see it everyday... :-)
Beautiful! Glad you caught it on "film". ;)
Beautiful. It almost looks as though it might be a plant from under the sea. Maybe that's how it got its name.
That is amazing and quite beautiful. Diane
Fascinating image, Jose!
Even more stunning than The Queen of the Night but, has it got the perfume?
