When kept warm, it very nearly approaches pure white, but in the greenhouse here it becomes distinctly pink. I was originally given cuttings under the name 'sp. 9'. McMillan and Horobin say: "Pure white flower with long narrow tube. Turns pink unless kept above 14 deg." The Schlumbergera and Rhipsalidopsis website says: "This very free flowering plant has pure white blooms with longish tubes. Temperature sensitive. It's pollen fertile, but pod sterile. this is one of Cobia's earlier cultivars (1973). 'White Christmas' has been a popular plant used in hybridising in Australia and North America." I haven't been able to locate the Plant Patent for 'White Christmas'. |
