My Epiphyllums are going crazy.
Every day I get 8-10 new blooms.
Right now, just the white ones are blooming.
The colored ones (gold, red, purple) will probably bloom a little
later.
Keep tuned.

What an amazing plant - I've not seen one before -
And, love the shot of the bud only -

Are you in a warm climate?

Thanks for sharing these,

Thank You.

I would describe the climate in coastal San Diego as sunny but
perpetually mild.
Never freezes, rarely rains and the temperature very rarely goes over
85°F
Sort of like Camelot West :-)

Sounds like paradise for growing flowers, aside from no rain - as we
sit in the middle of a 'gully womper' - We're in east/central Ontario,
Canada by a lake, and the rain is so heavy we can barely see the lake
-

I'm thinking this lovely plant would never survive in our climate -

Probably not outside, but you can keep them indoors over the winter and put
them outside in the late spring. I live in England and keep some of mine
indoors and some outside in a heated greenhouse that doesn't go much below
40F. Mine are nowhere near as beautiful as Bob's, but they're hanging in
there. Lucky you, having rain, England is becoming drought-stricken.

I'm from Ottawa, haven't heard the term gully womper for forty years!
