🌿🀍Epiphyllum update 🀍🌿


                       This morning in the greenhouse ....can you see them ? 


   Epiphyllum var buttercup  ( not E. cooperi  🌿I climbed in and found the label ! )


 This is how it looked yesterday evening . It has the most beautiful bud . 

No fragrance detected just yet ...maybe later on . Oh my heart ! It is beautiful !

I couldn't reach to get a photo of it from the front side . I'll try and climb in there and have another go later on .

And then ...........


                   πŸŒΏπŸ€ Epiphyllum crenatum  🀍🌿

                                                                🌿🀍🌿

                  Is your heart beating faster too ? 🀍 So lovely !

I acquired these many years ago from Mr Pilbeam of Connoisseurs Cacti  . Many of my cacti came from him too .

( Ignore the yellow Hylocereus undatus label...it's in the big pot behind . This one is E. crenatum )

Hylocereus undatus - possibly the largest plant in my greenhouse .Very generously given to me by my botanical brother . In a massive tub and scrabbling along a branch . It grows very fast , it punctures it's way through the netting and continues along above it in the roof . I 'm thinking maybe it wants more sunshine than all my Epiphyllums can take . I've had it for years and years ...it has never produced a flower .

I have taken some cuttings from it and will experiment with them to find a better position for it . ☀️

                     Lots of lovely new Epi shoots in the morning sunshine .


                     So now I must turn my thoughts to my Passiflora seedlings !
                                       They need repotting . My job for today .

                            Passiflora manicata and Passiflora mollissima .

I like my plants to grow the way they want to grow . A little bit of scrabbling about through my Epies might actually be cool .

but

 .... then again , maybe these are beginning to run the risk of getting totally out of control !

I like a little bit of totally out of control . πŸ€”  Plants definitely like to be out of control . 

                🌿I have a feeling these might want to take over the planet !  🌍

                                   Make it a great day ! Sending love ! 

                                                🌿☀️🌿 

    correction πŸ™„- So I climbed in and found the label ! It was not E.cooperi but E.var buttercup .   πŸ’›
