I don't agree with that 3 year old idea for blooming either as the cutting I rooted last summer has really grown and is now blooming. Well, it is winter but we haven't seen any real cool temp's yet! We did have a couple of nights in November where it got into the 40's but by 8 a.m. it was warm again. We are supposed to have really, really cold weather here this next week. Lows in the mid 30's beginning tomorrow night and daytime high's only in the low 60's! BRRR ... that's too cold!

I took a picture a couple of hours ago of the small Rhipsalis elliptica that I rooted from a cutting this past summer. I don't think the blooms are visible but lots of little buds. I was amazed at how fast this thing grew ... but then again, here in the heat and humidity of Florida summers, some things seem to grow a few feet overnight!
