#Sclumbergera #orssichiana. This is not the ordinary Thanksgiving/holiday/Christmas #Cactus, but is a rare species in its own right (not a mass commercially produced hybrid). #Bloomscrolling #FlowersOfBlueSky #pink #bloom #epiphyte #ECK Please see ALT for more info. on this species.

This is WIP#4 of my orssichiana study/drawing/painting. It has a coloured pencil base with a watercolour overcoat. The new top one was labelled by the breeder as AN.GER.001. #orssichiana #Schlumbergera #art #botanical #illustration

This is #Schlumbergera 'Beheim Pink,' which is an unusual primary hybrid of two different species. It is S.kautskyi x S.orssichiana. It is not the normal holiday/Christmas #cactus. This is its first time #flowering for me and I am really pleased with it. #Bloomscrolling #blooms #flowers #plants

This is just a very quick coloured pencil/watercolour hybrid sketch of Schlumbergera orssichiana 'Imperatrix Ilza' drawn/painted from life. I have had artists' block for a long time. This will hopefully be part of a larger piece with more orssichiana and maybe some Queens.

🌱 You're part of the way there, happy to help clarify, linked is a legacy post from my GardenOpus FB page. Additional species of Schlumbergera such as S. orssichiana, S. opuntioides, S. microsphaerica & S. lutea, less well known, are also being used in hybridization.

Always a thrill when my Schlumbergera orssichiana blooms. (I think I got that right 😎)

My work in progress on my quick 'sketches' of orssichiana plants in my collection. Here I now have Imperatrix Ilza (viewer left) and PG2341 (not bred by me). They are coloured pencil/watercolour mixed media. it is not my best work because I have had artists' block for so long.
