{BONUS - Our Epiphyllum oxypetalum re-bloomed!}

On August 27, we got a Garden-BONUS of one bloom on our Night Blooming Cereus Epiphyllum oxypetalum. So one more time I snapped some photos around midnight. Such an orchid cactus is so rewarding and giving! But it takes years before they ever bloom. Enjoy this beauty below: 
Midnight beauty and this single bloom was a huge one!
Enjoy my video below for seeing its progress.

  12. Liebe Mariette,
    das ist schön, dass dich dein Kaktus mit einer Nachblüte verwöhnt. Bei uns ist es jetzt schon ziemlich kalt nachts und ich werde bald meine Kübelpflanzen einräumen müssen.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna

  15. Always such a treat to see! Flower Lady in south Florida showed Epiphyllum phyllandthus in bloom last night on her blog. The difference in hers and ours is that E. oxypetalum has fragrance and the tepals have more color.

    I think I've learned the trick to sooner bloom -- a bigger cutting to start. I gave away one that bloomed in just one year. It was a large piece that broke and I rooted the whole thing in one piece. Now I'm rooting every little piece, no matter how shabby. The ugly ones will root and kept in shade, green up.
