Well, it's not an Epi....I often wonder when, if ever, the day will come that I have an Epi with buds....

This is supposed to be Nopalxochia phyllanthoides, (and I think it is).

The funny story behind this one is that I got it in a trade on GW 4-5 years ago.
I sent this person some good stuff, and all I wanted from her was a cutting of Nopalxochia phyllanthoides.
It took months and a lot of persistence, but I finally got my cutting....it was about a whopping 1.5" long!
I know of several other people who traded with the same person and they *all * got stiffed, so I feel fortunate to have this plant today.

I babied it and babied it and began placing it outdoors in the summer two years ago.....it has really grown and woohoo!!!! It has buds!! (Can you see 'em? LOL! You should be able to if you click to enlarge.)

This was taken about a week ago...the buds have matured a little bit since then, and are looking good.....I'm excited!!
