One of the plants is in the Azalea pic. Who is GP? I don't have a definite id, but I always thought it looked closer to Roger Paetz.

Thanks for the name Ursula! I've always just called it "peanut cactus". I was given a start years ago from an aunt. Mine is blooming now too.

I grow a few Pachypodiums and I grow them mostly for their interesting shapes. But the occasional blooms are kinda nice too.
This is Pachypodium saundersii -

Here is Epiphyllum Letty May showing one of the variable blooms. I found that no 2 flowers ever look exactly alike.
