Microb: Epies are an obsession that won't let go! I now have around 600 plants and 395 hybrids. In Hawaii, you may be able to grow your plants in the trees year round as long as they are shaded and temps don't freeze. Epies love cool weather down to around 36* F. They love it outside whenever possible. I rely on a home built greenhouse which serves me well right now. There are a number of hybrids that have been slow to grow from the start and take very little space. They have not bloomed, however, which I really need to study on. Last year, I had around 60 different hybrid blooms that I was very excited about. I tried to share most of the blooms on Dave's. I really like the epie you featured above. Do you know the name? Is it possibly E. Crenatum? Or maybe White Splendor?
