I hope my ric rac will flower this year. I picked one up a couple of years ago but so far it just seems to grow pads and lots of air roots.

Perhaps you might like to see another Epi, although is not quite as showy?
This is another night blooming Epiphyllum and it is very fragrant. Since it is still chilly outside, this one is still in our sunroom and it is starting new growth. At the same time it is budding everywhere. I just walked upstairs and the scent of an open flower caught my attention. The scent is reminiscent of carnations mixed with the"white scent" of the oxypetalum type.
Epiphyllum phyllanthus var. phyllanthus
You may have seen my page on the plant, it has a bit of history.
