Gerris2 said:I really enjoy seeing these flowers. They induce happiness.

Yes... and lust!

Thanks a lot.
I am reducing my collection to the best ones including my own hybrids.
A shame Kristi that you got no flowers this season, better luck next time.
I have a friend in Texas and I know the climate is challenging for epi growers.
I will post any blooms I have although mine are a lot less now.
I had not thought of them as lust inducing...but I'll go with that!

Many times you posted a particularly beautiful bloom with name and I have gone shopping for the same. I didn't always find or buy but still enjoyed the search as much as I enjoy seeing your blooms.

Some blooms from Argentina. I don' t know their names

Sorry Ceci, can't ID either of those.

A few out over the last few days.

Priceless


Jennifer ann x Nat. (One of my first hybrids that I still like).


Multicolour. (A local hybrid popular here. Unregistered).


Tassel x nat. Disappointing.

Today. Warming up now, 30c,and more blooms.


Ulana lavender giant. Unusual.


Friedrich werner buel


Emmett Kelly


Showboat x nat. First time bloomer. XL.

I recently posted a pic of Sakurahime in the database and am hoping to attract enough thumbs ups to get it into the newsletter. Please give it a thumb if you like it! Thanks.
Nice weather now for blooms. Here's more .


Sakurahime


Ulana Holy smoke


Lost the name tags of the next 2. A cardinal sin.









Ulana pink blush

You got it!

A Cardinal Sin would be a good name for some of these beautiful blooms!

All of them are lovely but Sakurahime is gorgeous!

Thanks Kristi,
Sakurahime (not mine) was best bloom in our society show this year.
The name means cherry blossom in Japanese. It is widely grown.
I don't know the full story but apparently it was hybridized by treating the seed with colchicine.
A bit over my head! It sure is unusual. Hopefully it makes the newsletter and I can send that around to people for Christmas. A win for this site and a win for Epiphyllums in general!
I would think you should be able to source this plant in the US for sure. It grows and blooms well.

A lot blooming now.
Here are the best ones,
(BTW lots of thumbs (30) and 10 acorns for Sakurahime. Thanks everyone).

More beautiful blooms! Thank you.

Jealous also of your warm/hot weather. We are going into winter albeit mild. And here I am lusting after Epiphyllum blooms and shopping for plants. Wrong time of year but where there is a will, there is a way.
