EPIPHYLLUM

Epiphyllums are often referred to as night blooming cactus. They have rounded stems that become flat and two-ribbed in mature plants. The flowers are nocturnal, large and usually white,red, hot pink  or cream colored. The more common epiphyllums, also known as orchid cacti are now included in the genus Disocactus. The majority of the  plants with their red, hot pink or two toned flowers belong to one species called Disocactus Xhybridus.

My Epiphyllum

My epiphyllums started blooming in April this year, much earlier than last year. Even though the flowers last only for a week or so, it is well worth waiting for.
