This epi is always a very late bloomer, around Christmas / new year here.
No idea exactly where it came from but has been around here for ages. A strong grower but shy bloomer.
It's very fragrant.
W.H. MORRIS.

Nice! Delightful that they don't all bloom at once.

Thanks too for the new thread.

Wouldn't it be wonderful Steve, if we could find someone that knew who hybridized W H Morris? It really is a lovely flower, unfortunately mine battles and still has no sign of any flowers, mind you I have never seen it flower so it could be something else entirely!
I was sure that I had more than these few leftover from last year but they are all I can find.

Eastern Monarch as far as I know and what the tag say's anyway!

Bel-Air

A different picture of Kiwi Testimonial.
I have a few other picture's taken this week on my phone that I will load in the next couple of day's.

Very nice Liz,
Yes your pic is Eastern monarch.
I have found it very hard to grow but the bloom is somehow an eyecatcher.
I only have cuttings of it now but I will persevere with it.
Last time it bloomed here was 2013.
Here's the pic.


And a better one I dug out from 2010.


Re. WH Morris, Ron told me it was hybridised by an Azalea grower, presumably in Australia. It was sold here for $1 a cutting and I get the feeling it is somewhat maligned these days. I like it but I'm probably biased as I have 2 large plants of it!

Many thank's for confirming Eastern Monarch it is really hard to confirm when you can't find a photo to compare it against. Interesting what you said about W.H. Morris, I might have to see if Ron can remember anything else about the hybridizer next time I am sending an email.

I have had a couple of surprises over the last few day's, and have been rather surprised when I hadn't seen a bud but a flower and this was one of them Three Orange's

This was the other one Kiwi Pineapple Crush

This is Heliocereus Speciosus ssp. and it has been flowering since September last year, and as I think that will be the last one I get another one or two flower's!

I don't know if anyone is interested in seeing Aporophyllum flowers but I have had a number out last year and there are still a couple of one's still to come out. So if you would like a bit more colour I can Post them, just let me know!

Particularly love the colors on the first two photos but all are beautiful!

Absolutely! We are in the middle of winter here and I would love to see them. Thank you...

Kiwi pineapple crush looks very yellow, very nice.
Yes Liz please post all Aporos The one you posted is no doubt Aporo Moonlight.

One of my hybrid Hylocereus seedlings flowered overnight.




Cheers

Out today an off season bloomer.


Vista gold x nat.
No world beater but in it's favour it's fragrant and off season so I will be keeping it.

Hi Steve yes very nice, Hope you will register it with the ESA so it is recorded.

Hi Jenifer,
My days of registering epis are long gone.
So many new hybrids these days I have lost interest now.
Also that hybrid is ok at best, as I said, no world beater.

Steve you might think it is ok looks better than a lot that are being registered at the moment.
Perfumed too.

Yes Jenifer, that is exactly why I have lost interest.
Also when I registered mine it was free but I think it is now US $10 a hybrid.
I no longer sell epis , have deleted my website and my wife now posts epi pictures just for fun.
There are many epi 'Groups' now, some better than others.
Our epi and hoya society is now unfortunately rather Hoyacentric, but myself and Liz 'fly the epi flag' and there are a few more on our bandwagon!
We are the only remaining Epi society in Australia. Probably rather 'old school' but going strong and still friendly rather than dollar driven.

Love that Vista Gold x nat Steve! Sorry it has taken me so long to post my Aporophyllum or Aporocactus but here goes, unfortunately they aren't very clear, for some reason I have trouble photographing smaller flowers with my phone!

A Slim, this is a beautiful one in real life!

A Strawberry Fair

A Sussex Pink
I'm not sure why I bothered to put the names underneath considering that it is written on them but oh well it takes all sorts!

A very good selection of Aporos there Liz.
Strawberry fair is a Bob Funnel hybrid,(a real gent he is too). I have not seen the bloom before.
I also have trouble focussing on small blooms but your pics were good.
BTW as I understand it Aporocacti are the rattail cacti, Aporophyllums are hybrids of them.
i.e. Aporocacti x Epis.

Hi Liz.
You need to edit your post from (lightbox] to [lightbox]

Hopefully the above will save you finding the source of the problem.

S. setaceus flowered overnight.

Had a couple of spots of rain, disappointing.
Cheers

Pretty Lil Thing flowered, some strong winds so it suffered a little.

A couple of pics taken this morning of a dragon fruit plant in my front garden.
This is the 3rd flush of blooms so far and there are a few fruit setting already from previous blooms..

WOW! That is huge!
