Winter inside Volunteer Park Conservatory, Seattle…a luscious Orchid Cactus flower.

Disocactus phyllanthoides is endemic to Mexico and known from the cloud forest at elevations of 1,500–1,850 m above sea level.
It has probably been in cultivation since prehistoric times, by the indigenous peoples of South America and Mesoamerica.

I hope it is still flowering in its cloud forests of origin.
