This morning I opened the greenhouse door to be greeted by yet another beautiful Epie bloom .
I think this one is Epiphyllum crenatum or it could be Epiphyllum crenatum var chichicastenago...this one came from a cutting from my mother's one , which in turn came from my Grandmother . I always wonder where on earth my Grandmother got it from..no garden centres back in her time .
So this is a very special one for me .
There was a slight fragrance ..but I think this was still coming from yesterday's Epiphyllum oxypetalum blooms.
Maybe when I go up to close the windows I'll have another check on the perfume..but I am thinking that this one has no fragrance .
Look at the size of it in my hands ! When the Epies have finished flowering , I will be having a ruthless Epie tidy up and re-label everything ....there should be lots of cuttings..if anyone wants one . They are very easy to root . They are best in a greenhouse really , on the shady side . I fix up windbreak mesh for shade . They like to climb and scrabble about ..maybe too untidily for you ..but I adore them !
