Orchid Cactus

Great detail here! Lovely!

Thanks Grammazoo. This is my mother-in-laws. I was in the kitchen this morning listening to music on my iPod and I did not hear her come in the back door. She scared the bejeezes out of me!!! She came to inform me that it had bloomed. She knew that I'd want to get a picture and she was right, it's gorgeous and big (about 5-6 inches in diameter).

It is gorgeous! And thanks for the chuckle, I can imagine you jumping out of your skin, lol !!

Thanks Grammazoo, glad you had a good laugh. It's good for the soul :)

Super photo,
what is the plant, please?

Xela- This is called Epiphyllum or more commonly known as the Orchid Cactus.

Many thanks,
got to add that to my Wish List :-)

Xela- I found this website with an excellent variety of Epiphyllums. Here's a link: http://www.epiphyllumworld.com/Epiphyllum_World/Gallery.html
The flowers are really spectacular, but very short lived.

I know there is at least one other person on here, besides myself, who have epiphyllums and hope for such blossoms! mine is enjoying the outdoors at present.

Lori- Which other GOY member has this type?

Hi Tracy...just enter epiphyllum in the search point at the top of this page...it will show you all the pics posted...Cheers!

Awesome detail, what a graceful, delicate looking bloom.
