I had never seen a flower that color! So beautiful and delicate đđ

Those are some healthy looking leaves.
Just a heads up, that’s one of the plants that has a LOT of different common names, depending on region.
From wikipedia:
Common names for these cacti generally refer to their flowering season. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are called **Christmas cactus**, **Thanksgiving cactus**, **crab cactus** and **holiday cactus**. In Brazil, the genus is referred to as ***Flor de Maio*** **(May flower)**, reflecting the period in which they flower in the Southern Hemisphere. Most of the popular houseplants are [cultivars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivar) of *Schlumbergera*, rather than species, with flowers in white, pink, yellow, orange, red or purple. The **Easter cactus** or **Whitsun cactus**, placed in the genus [*Rhipsalidopsis*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhipsalidopsis), is also called a holiday cactus and has flowers in red, orange, pink and white.
