My regular Clivia miniata didn't bloom this year-just the yellow and peach. Just beautiful!! Last year I bought a bunch of stakes for amaryllis. I still have one more in bud.

Here's the latest on my epiphyllum experiment. I brought a few ones in bud into the warm from the cool room.
Pink Cloud is very happy. French Gold frizzled.

Not sure about William Clark (very small buds). But my nasty spiny red is doing well despite the battle with bugs.

Here's Hoya javanica for Jo. It's finally open. With flash and without.

Lovely Hoya Kathy!

My clivia is currently blooming as well but the stalk is stunted so the blooms are all smooshed in the foliage Angry
In good news the mamillaria cacti are all budding up Hurray!

The color is not that accurate after sundown. More stills later today for truer color. I've had this plant for about 4 years and this is the first time I've bloomed it so I'm chuffed. I'm still learning how to bloom them here and I have about 40!!! This is a pattern with me. If only I was more logical and less passionate! Whistling
