      Bougies brighten up the conservatory particularly on dull days.

        I just love the orange one Clive ... I did have one for a brief period but they are rare. Would have one again in a moment.

          Rhipsalis pilocarpa ... forest cactus from Brazil.
          I don't know how exotic it looks because I didn't take a photo when the flowers were in full bloom but you can see where they were and the red berries will form soon (I hope)

                Thank you @Victoria, it is an endangered species in the wild but grown widely in cultivation.
