While my luck with plants is dismal, my aunt manages to make anything thrive richly!
I love visiting their home. We were there for Christmas and have a great time.
I saw this lovely little cactus plant in a little pot it was unique and I loved the brilliant contrast between the green and the red (or is that pink). It looked happy and chirpy!
Have you seen such a colorful cactus plant?

Yes, to make the green cactus look like it had a red bloom. There are a lot of those sold here.

@LadyDuck @pitstop Only the top part is the Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, they are mutant forms that lack chlorophyll and consequently other colours show through. But without chlorophyll to make food of course they will soon die so to keep them alive they are grafted onto another type of normal green cactus, Hylocereus. @rsa101 is right.
