Mike, does the pink and white one have a name? Reminds me of our pink and orange NoID (that I wish I knew the name of). A similar color pattern.

The pink and white one is "Grand Prize". Strong grower and seems disease resistant. Prolific bloomer.

Hello folks!
Catching up with the threads..well, one of my epis did manage to bloom while I was away. Thankfully my hubby noticed it, so he sent me some photos to see it. And now being back, with our better internet connection I can share it here. I believe it bloomed last week of April:
My noid solitary bloomer..glad it made its one day show!


Alas all I saw is the leftover when I returned:


There are some smaller buds in the same container still, will see if it can go for it a bit more. And two more from other containers waiting for their turn. I hope they don't get too blasted with the incoming rains this weekend.

Ackermanii bloomed with two blooms yesterday. The rain beat 1 of the flowers closed, but the other flower is blooming it's heart out. I noticed another bud on Ackermanii, but no other buds that I could find anywhere.

Mine is an Akermanii X, but it seems to keep blooming long after the others are done. At least it did last year.

That's a spectacular bloom Tarev. How can something so beautiful look so forlorn when it dies. I dead head mine after about 4 days.

Here is todays first bloom of the year on Morocco.

I love that color!!

Got another bloom last night! It was a slightly breezy night and this morning breeze is back, but temps are quite mild, so am enjoying the bloom. Just glad it managed to bloom, aphids were all over the bud a few days back so I sprayed the bud with water, thankfully some got washed out. This was a cutting I got a few years back and the label on it was Teki:

Tarev - are you saying that's a night bloomer. Never seen a pink night bloomer before.

Here's today's catch - Bumpkin, another favorite

Ooo, That one is different. Very pretty!

Mike...yup that light pink one bloomed at night.

Oh I love that bumpkin!

Love that it has been cool and now raining here! I hope the epis will not mind some cool rain, I would hate for buds to blast. With the cooler conditions, noid pink epi is holding its blooms a day longer yey!

My Epi hybrids are sitting out for the last week in daily chilly rain. Temps barely reach 50 degr. The plants are not objecting so far, they are plumping up and so far the buds are not aborting. I am keeping fingers crossed.

That is so good to know Ursula! The rains has finally stopped, so some good dry out time before night arrives.

I've been enjoying this thread. Some truly gorgeous epis!

I love the recently posted "Bumpkin". What a unique beauty!

Only epi blooming here is a single bloom (so far) of a NOID. This is a named cultivar, but I have looked through all my notes and don't have it listed anywhere. Does anyone have a guess as to which cultivar it is? I would probably recognize the name if it is suggested:

Could it be "Showboat"?

That's a nice one Becky, sorry cant help with a name. A lot of blooms look so similar.

This is todays latest "Peach Magic"

Today's bloomer, Epi Campfire! A first time bloomer for me, oftentimes it blasts, glad again for this season's milder conditions!

Nice bloom, I've got to learn some of your photographic skills.

MIke I just use pizap for that collage helps me focus on the plant.
