Happy to see the forum thriving but could not find 2021 blooms. Here are a couple of mine

Good to see some blooms Mike.
Mid winter here and no Epi blooms
Well done! You just started the 2021 blooms ..

first bloom is a noid



then Liberty Glow opened looking a little plain this year

Wow ! Love seeing all your beautiful Epiphyllum blooms ! Gorgeous !

After a long wet winter my first epi to bloom.

Naranja.

Woo Hoo! How exciting to see the blooms beginning. Thanks for sharing.

Would anyone happen to know the name of this small, white day-bloomer? I have done a lot of research, but have not found one with this small of a bloom.

I have that one as well. I got mine from https://www.almostedenplants.c... It is not an interesting name but a delightful and manageable Epi.

@pod Thanks! It is a nice plant and I like that the plant itself stays smaller. I just don't have room for more than a couple of the larger ones. I got rid of my E. oxypetulum because it was taking up too much space. I did enjoy it blooming for about 5 years though.

It is a delightful plant. I had lost mine in the hard February freeze. I did replace it as I love this one. It could use a more imaginative name than dwarf white.

Oddly some of my Epis recovered from the roots after freezing but this one did not.

Sondra maybe yours is Epipyllum Pumilum.
If you google it there is a video of a green house set up with many plants, all E Pumilum in flower.
Worth a look anyway!

Steve, the blooms are similar, but seem too small for Pumilum. Mine is a small plant though, so maybe they will get bigger as the plant grows. I found the 'Dwarf White' on the Almost Eden website and it is definitely the same flower as mine. What gives me questions though is that, that is the only mention of the name 'Dwarf White' I can find anywhere. It makes me wonder if Almost Eden could not identify the plant either, so made the name up. Or maybe they hybridized the plant and named it that. They don't give any background information on it.

I don't have epiphyllum but I do have christmas cactus and dragonfruit.

Sondra, I agree. the foliage looks similar but the bloom on Dwarf White (mine did come from Almost Eden) is smaller than the bloom on E. pumilum Epiphyllum (Epiphyllum pumilum)


I do see Dwarf White listed in the Plant Files data base although I'm not sure where they get their info. I had added photos from my first one that froze. Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum 'Dwarf White')

@Gardener2493 If you hang around here you will be certain you need to add Epiphyllums to your plant collection. I'll guarantee it.

Probably

No probably about it. I just purchased an Epiphyllym pumilum.

Maybe in a year I can compare the two and see the differences ( or not).

Not listed in the ESA directory so I would think you are right.
Wouldn't be the first time!

At last some blooms are out here. Hooray!

I have missed seeing your blooms. Thank you for sharing.

None of mine bloomed this past summer. I think the setback was due to the incredibly low and lengthy temperatures this past winter. The plants that survived that are in recovery mode and I didn't push them to bloom.

Hopefully more blooms will be forthcoming.

I really enjoy seeing these flowers. They induce happiness.
