...it sure was a welcome surprise in the greenhouse on Easter Sunday. It is a hybrid Epiphyllum I picked up at the end of last season in a 6" hanging basket. A nice treat and lovely soft pink color, with the bloom lasting a full three days because of the cool temps. Several more buds on other cuttings from Pat's and some additional hanging baskets from late last summer.

We've had an extremely soggy winter with about 150% of normal rainfall and just in the last week did we break the 60F mark...been busy with the construction of the new house and haven't contributed much to the discussions over the last months, but will try to stop by with some additional images as the rest of the buds become beautiful blooms.
