I love the pick and you have taken such wonderful pictures of it : ) .. sadly I have a terrible brown finger when it comes to indoor plants (I actually killed a beautiful arrangement a girlfriend gave me over a month ago ..)

Yours looks like Hatiora rosea or a pink form of Hatiora x graeseri. I'm tempted to say the former because you said the stems are narrower than in pictures of H. gaertneri, but x graeseri is a hybrid between the two and could resemble one more than the other. My Hatiora gaertneri is starting to drop its blooms after over a month in flower.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-10354604288520405972014-06-07T17:54:03.861-07:002014-06-07T17:54:03.861-07:00It's lovely.
