Shirley's Orchid Cactus flower

it always amazes me that such delicate, ephemeral, gorgeous flowers come from one of the toughest plants on the planet!! Another exceptional picture, Tasty...

Thanks Lori, is yours getting ready to flower?

I'm hoping... on expert advice I have removed it from my window sill and put it out on my deck in a shady spot...I'm building a shade house beside my garden shed... this is going to be one pampered epi! ahaha...

Lori, I'm sorry but I am not an expert on this plant. This one is actually my mother-in-laws. I would say part shade, should be fine. I have a cutting of one and it's doing absolutely nothing for me. It's not dead, though...so I guess that's a good sign :) Good luck. If I see any website with advice on these, I'll pass it on to you.

I did absolutely the right thing when I was given my cuttings...They were in a plastic bag in my purse and I forgot they were there for two days...lol... my friend here on goY told me I had done exactly the right thing because they should be left for a period of time before potting up...lol. serendipity... When I discovered the cuttings again (Horrors!, they're dead!) I stuck them into a black plastic compost filled bag and left them out in the heat and wet... They started to grow like gangbusters and two little cuttings have filled up the pot with shoots...It's filling out and liking it's spot in the shade so I'm hoping for blooms this fall.
