Epicactus 'Clown'

Certainly a favorite. In our experience, not the easiest to grow but well worth it.

'Clown' is one of the last of our epicactus hybrids to bloom, but it's worth the wait. The first picture was taken before the sun broke through the clouds, but later we had what locally we call "sun breaks". Enjoy your plants!

Bringing on the Clowns - part 2

I just posted some pictures of Epicactus 'Clown' not long ago, but when the flowers are there, who can resist?

 

Created, and registered by Phyllis Fleschig of the San Diego area in 1982, this is truly one of the best hybrid Epiphylums to come along in a long time.

It took quite a few years after we purchased this plant before it bloomed, but now it blooms reliably every year. And what a beaut!

Our epicacti are really blooming like mad right now, so guess what I'll be posting for the next few nights. And, during the day, I hope to get the garden area tilled. Anyone want to help?!?

Epicactus 'Clown'

Yesterday and today another of our epis decided to bloom: Epicactus (Epiphylum) 'Clown'. It's not one to readily bring forth blossoms, but when it does, whew! It's one of our favorites, but for the first few years we wondered if it would ever bloom. It was worth the wait. It now blooms dependably, but usually just one bloom a year.
