We Call It Christmas Cactus

The pastel flower was gorgeous; I was fascinated by it. What do you call it?We call it Christmas cactus. I stare at my aunt. There is no red or green. No dazzling white or frothy lacy sock look about it. Arizona has curious ways Calling a pastel plant of pinks, lavenders and oranges this makes no sense to me. Seventy-six degrees on Christmas day also makes no sense to this Iowan.
                                               
                                      pink lavender orange
                              why are you christmas cactus
                                            in arizona
