I have a plant that I was given a start of years ago by someone who
called it Rick-rack plant. I realize that is a common name often given
to Epiphyllum (Orchid cactus). However it does not look like my
Epiphyllum or any picture of one that I can find. It looks even less
like Hylocereus undatus (night-blooming cerus) which I also have.
Those are the two closest plants I can think of, and it does seem to
enjoy the same conditions that they do. It runs in my mind that I did
find a proper name for it once, but if so, I lost it.

I uploaded 3 pictures to the files area of
http://groups.google.com/group/floridagardening

Epiphyllum, Mystery plant, and Mystery plant 2. The last picture is
just to show how convoluted the leaves (or maybe they're really
branches) are.




Plug "Cryptocereus anthonyanus" in the search field on Google Images
and see what you think.



I think it's a Ric Rac epi and if you don't want it, I'll take it.

If you stop by, I'll give you a start of it.


Consult this group: http://www.epiforums.com/

It's also called Zig Zag, too.

And Fishbone cactus.
