Nice! I always forget to look at night, too. My cereus is at least 4 ft tall, I got it at a greenhouse that was going out of business. Such a shame, it was a huge place that had lots of interesting and unusual plants. But they moved from their old location to a new, fancy, expensive lease that was a little more out of the way and their business dropped. When they were in their old location our WI cactus club would take a bus trip there every year, they once sold Calibanus hookeri that were 12" in diameter for $25. Also got some nice Mammillari 'Freds' there, but I killed them.
I am almost done moving my plants back inside. If you see some empty spots, they are reserved for stuff still outside.
Yesterday the Epiphyllum pumilum bloomed again and we have another bud opening right now.
The Euphorbia x lomi ( Thai Giants) will hopefully keep on blooming, I used to keep them on the very sunny top shelf in the greenhouse, but I needed the room for some tall Dendrobiums and such.
Fuchsia triphylla is a very old plant of mine, it was given to me probably 15 years or so.
and some random shots around the sunroom and the approach room to the greenhouse, and a couple of C&S shelves in the greenhouse.
Ursula, I am picking my mouth up off the floor. I thought I had a lot to bring inside. You have double my stash. I love your King statue and you have one of my favorite pots. I have the big one that I have to hire someone to move every year because it is so heavy.
I do not store the plants in it in the winter I just remove the plants and put them in other containers but I have to move my man and woman inside for the winter.
Thanks, Cinta!
Yes, I like those pots too. Picked them up a couple of years ago!
About the "King" - I ran across this statue some years ago, would you believe in a Liquor store? The owner was ( is) an artist and he displayed all sorts of artwork/statues at his store. I just loved it and bought it on the spot for a song. I wouldn't be surprised if this one had graced a Chinese Kitchen (it seems to be a take-off on General Zhang Fei, a glorified figure in Chinese history). His embellishments are all food related and I would have expected him to have held a large kitchen knife, which was lost at the time of purchase. The General is always depicted with his large machete type sword. His hand now holds my magnifying glass instead.
I am so glad we are having gorgeous weather and I can keep the window open, while the sun shines on this beauty..... oh boy

Love those blazing red flowers, Ursula. Look out, cold weather's a-coming!
The white begonia is just gorgeous, too. I clicked on the link to Logee's and as usual, it makes me mad. I find their price outrageous for what they deliver. $10 plus shipping for a cutting in a 2 1/2in pot??
I am donating a flat of nice rooted cuttings of my begonias to our Master Gardener plant sale next weekend, and they are all at least 8in. high in a 4in. pot. They'll go for maybe $3 or $4 each. A true bargain I guess!

But, I don't think I ever got a plant from Logee's which didn't take off right away for me. They are usually small, but healthy. I guess you have to buy a few plants or do an order with a friend to save on shipping.
And yes, I am watching the weather - we are still a bit in a warm spell, but that is soon to change for sure.
Ted this is Purpurata
i noticed on page one of this thread you have a pic that looks like a Leucopylla named Purp.
Yes Carnivorous plants dont need fertilizers or rich soil, just a peat moss and sand mix as Ted said.
Is this a normal time of year for the Pachypodium saundersii to be blooming? Mine has not ever bloomed, but it was small when I got it. These past few years, and especially this year it has really grown. Maybe blooms this year.
You know, I was surprised myself that they were blooming now. ( Both plants that size bloom right now) Pachypodium lealii blooms in the Fall on bare branches. I had these saundersii always blooming for me in the Spring. I am wondering..... saundersii is considered by some a subspecies of lealii, some give it as a separate species. Perhaps it isn't all that clear cut?
