Who are the Epiphyllum growers?

I have two species with a few flowers on each plant that are just about to come out.
strictum and rick rack.
So this granny is expecting!
I will out and about with the torch tonight.

interesting posts.. i have a few that i'm waiting to see what they produce re flowers and one plant that i dont know what is is at all.. i'll post a pic in the nestr couple of weeks, need a new battery in the camera first. i kept my plants going through the winter by storing them under my benches and under the middle row right away from the sides of the polyhouse. last winder they got badly damaged by the gold. my ricrac almost was wiped out so it spent the winter in the heat bed , tucked in and surrounded by cuttings in baggies. loved it!

My strictum flowered last night. Bud was at 7.00 then when I went out at 8.00pm it was fully out. Just a beautiful BIG bloom.
8.00 this morning bloom still in good condition but I do expect it to deterioate from now on.

My Rick Rack should bloom tonight.
Don't know what my neighbours think of these mysterious lights in my garden

Hi Marlenann, I love the strictum flower, pure white? looking forward to a pic of the rick-rck too... mine hasn't ever flowered perhaps Tassie is too cold for it!?

Well Selenicereus anthonynus flowered last night. I am a little dissapointed with the flower as two petals had kinks in them that did not straighten out. I had great expectations and feel a bit let down.
strictum was perfect in all ways.

WOW!...blowng ...that small plant has a lot of flower buds.
What have you been feeding it?

a bit of a story there ,driving to work fast one morning i accidentilly hit an emu ,and feeling bad and not wanting to waste this poor creature and also wanting to pay for the damage to the front of my car decided to compost the emus body ,it was left in a garbage bin away from the nose for a year and mixed in was leaf mulch...what resulted was a black sweet smelling compost which i top dressed this epi with ...lol, i think she like it

That's a very cool story blowng. I never thought of using road kill for this purpose...

Here is one from Saint-Petersburg Botanical Garden:

The sun is rare guest in Saint-Petersburg and all the same these epiphyllum bloom!

Gorgeous flowers these plants

Yes...beautiful Epis!

they have great flowers!! does epiphphyllum produce the fuit they call dragon fruit?

I think Dragon fruit come from a Hylocereus...

cool!!!! ive got some hylocereus, thanks cactuscook

can you graft cacti to ephiphyllum? i think i saw somewhere someone grafting zygo??? are zygo epiphyllum

I've seen photos of Epiphylum (or possibly Zygocactus; it's been a while) grafted to some sort of columnar stock, possibly a Trich of some flavour. The result was something almost like a standard rose: a tall stock, with a burst of greenery and flowers coming out of the top.
