Epiphyllum Curt Backeberg - Flower



 Named after the greatest horticulturalist who collected , studied and classified cacti . 

 This is one of my oldest plants . Most of my plants came from dear Mr John Pilbeam of Connoisseur  Cacti , he often would send me extra cuttings for free ...I also bought plants , cuttings and seeds from Terry Hewitt of Hollygate  Nursery .

Sadly both now passed . I hope they are looking down and can see that I still have plants that I bought from them .

 Terry was crossing Epiphyllum just before he passed away and I bought some of his seeds . I am still waiting to see them flower .They are very precious to me .

                               That's all fer today folks !
