Thanks all!
bree, that is just a LARGE Noid Epiphyllum. I have 8 Epis, not counting Epi. Oxypetalum and a dragon fruit, which I'll never see in bloom, as they are night bloomers, and it's dark out there under the trees.

Ursula, I usually refer to the gerberara as "the weed". It is indestructable, and interesting. Not picky about temp., water, humidity. Only real requirement is lots of light. It usually blooms from early spring to fall, but this year, maybe due to the long winter, it only got a few spikes until recently. And blc. 'black flower' is my favorite! Wish my camera could see what my eye sees. It is such a deep, velvety purple!

If anyone is interested, the Gerberara needs to be divided (again), and there is a nice kiki on the orange epidendrom
that you can have for postage.

Carol
