I totally agree with you Bob, they are my faves next to my orchids &
tillys.
I missed my giant pink, a shame they don't last as they are so beautiful.
What zone are you in & what do you use for the potting mix for these
lovelies?
Cheers Wendy

Epis are among my favorite flowers.
Big and bold but delicate and beautiful.
I am also a Macro junkie...... See attached

I live in Chula Vista (San Diego) CA.
I'm not sure exactly what zone I'm in because San Diego County has so
many "Microclimates" where 10 miles can make a big difference in what
grows well.
Where I live, (3 miles from the ocean), NEVER freezes and it usually
takes a short-lived Santa Ana to get the temperature above 90°F.
My Epis like well filtered sunlite which is nearly constant in San Diego
My wife uses a potting mix called "Palm and Cactus Mix" (Home Depot).
She also gives them a little dose of "Miracle Gro", monthly, starting in
March and continuing until no more buds appear.
