I am just in shock all that we will have blooming this year with these. Ususally we have one of two a year but this year we see 9 or 10 getting ready to bloom. Here is the first unknown salmon/pink one!

Here are the next two that are getting ready to bloom. This one was from the local community college that had a huge plant this one is huge and a chore to hang each year.

I do like epis. I have 20 seedlings on the go at the moment. Hopefully I'll live long enough to see them bloom.

Absolutely beautiful Karma! I like how you were able to share the whole "opening" sequence with us! Thanks!......p

Thanks everyone, we are amazed at these this year due to we just tossed them into the Brug house above them and lower the heat this last winter. We are being rewarded with lots of buds and think we may have found the key to them and their blooming like crazy. DH check on them daily as he learns to like these too! Little care and Gruntfuttock I do recommend more! Just wish you were closer as we have over 30 varieties to share.

Hi Karma,
The particular plant you posted looks like Epiphyllum crenatum. I collect these and they are indeed addicting. Check out www.epiforums.com for more info on Epiphyllum and tropical cactus in general.

Take care,
Joe
