Hmm.. maybe, yes because of the climate.

ArushiMisra...maybe it's your climate (light).... these flowers just keep coming every year by themselves.
As much as I hate to say it , this would be my most neglected plant !!!
I do nothing at all. I can only recommend to treat it like a cactus.
its beautiful...! really.. :) how'd u grow this flower on ur cactus?.. i also have one, but never saw any flower like this. truly amazing.
The petals in these are beautifully translucent like wax so you're right Clive the light seems to be inside.
