Epiphyllum "Yellow" flowers opening

 

At last ! Epiphyllum "Yellow" is opening her beautiful flowers .  

The outer petals are yellow and the inner ones are ivory . Like Cornish Clotted Cream .

They benefit , colour wise , from having a cold winter .They get a better or much stronger colour .

 I keep them dry through the winter months .... only covering them with fleece or sheets of newspaper if there is a serious freeze forecast . 

Three more buds to go , although I think that small one might drop off . 

They will probably be fully open tonight . Moth pollenated ๐Ÿฆ‹

I will take some cuttings after it finishes blooming . 

All my Epies need a good tidy up .

                 Made my day !   love Debbie ๐Ÿ’ x
