Becky---
A really far-fetched question....
How long did you have the NBC that I lugged over to your townhouse
at the 1st swap you held? It was quite large!
It had never bloomed for me--but then it bloomed the next summer for you.
I have a lot of rooted cuttings, or just a whole "frond", that just broke off
from the most "amazing" NOID Epi I have. (see pic #1.)
Another Red Epi-has bloomed profusely for me--(Ackermanii).
See pic. #2 and #3)
2--
3--
Also--I can give you a section of a frond of the Ric-Rac cactus.(selencerius anthonyanus)
This one grows like crazy, weighs a ton after a few years--but here--I have only seen
it bloom ONCE--the 3rd year I had it--from "kachinagirl" in CA. Pics #4--#5)
#4-- (only bloom)
#5--Full size Ric Rac--at least 35lbs. I kept hoping my ceiling hook
would hold the weight...
All 3 of these Epis were sent to me as single cuttings in 2005.
Will be glad to send you some starts of either one.
