This is a macro of the very centre (stamens, anther, can't remember what is what, lol?) of an Easter Cactus flower (Hatiora gaertneri), taken in my kitchen. I haven't checked today's temperature yet - not sure I really want to, lol, after our -36C (-33F) windchill temperature of yesterday! All I know is, I need colour - warm colour : ) And many of you do, too, no doubt. So, keep warm, everyone!

"An Easter cactus is a unique, jointed cactus plant that blooms with brilliantly colored flowers once a year in the Easter season. It is a type of succulent cactus known as an epiphyte, which has adapted for survival in the jungle. The Easter cactus is indigenous to Brazil, and is commonly grown as a houseplant in cultivation." www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-easter-cactus.htm

It's back to saving more of my endless photos today. Having had to deal with three different computer problems the last 2-3 weeks, it has scared me enough to make me start on the long, monotonous chore of backing up photos to my external hard drive. I do it one small folder at a time, lol, which no doubt will have a few of you shaking your head.
