Thanks for the update, Ursula! I'm glad to hear that you have buds. I think mine started early this year due to the unusually cold winter that we had. It got down to 32F a few times and was 28F for a few hours one morning. All of my epi's were under my semi-covered patio, and that overhead protection made all the difference, I think. Even the trees above protected a lot of my plants from receiving damage. That Ackermannii is a nice cheerful red. I like it a lot. I think I have it stuck in a pot somewhere. I can't wait to see your Epi oxy this year!

Here is my E. crenatum blooming again. I love this one! Ants are all over the flower. I've been spraying with Safer's Insecticidal Soap, but I don't want to hit the flower for fear of destroying it.
