In reference to a post by Connie 243, Its interesting that epiphyllums are known by several names including Christ in the Manger. She states her mom called it that and Connie enjoys calling it Christ in the Manger as well. I wonder if there is anyone out there in the "Land of Dave's Garden" who knows HOW it came to be called Christ in the Manger? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a picture of our epiphyllum that bloomed two days ago. My husband took the picture of our "Epi" while my hand in the background shows the scope of its size.
