Just lovely. Wonderful lighting and composition. In the past, I've had Christmas Cactuses bloom until late May. There are several different cultivars of Schlumbergera. So that might explain why some "Christmas Cactus" continue to bloom later in the season (in North America) than others.

The image is beautiful in tone, vignette, and composition and it has an air of mystery about it. "VVV"

Apparently blooming in Australia too ??? Love this unusual orientation of the bloom - so lovely amongst the soft leaves. V
