So lovely Clare! I'm hoping I get many more blooms next year. I plan to keep these two big plants in the sunroom this winter where it is a little warmer than the greenhouse. Better to keep an eye on them too. :)

Ursula, I'm in the process of doing that "fall cleaning/moving" thing too. Have moved the Euphorbia collection into the sunroom as it dropped below 50F a couple of nights in a row. Now it is supposed to be hot again for a few days, but that's a game I play with the weather every year. If I leave stuff out to long, I get caught and if I begin to bring things in sooner, it is bound to turn HOT again! LOL

I'd agree that it was a good season for these beauties and I feel that we've all benefitted from the sharing of experiences and tips and tricks with our Epis. Thanks to one and all.....parting thought for my tip of the day would be BAIT FOR SNAILS/SLUGS.....they are showing up again in the garden now that the nights are cooling off.

With the Epis done for the season, I'm loving my big 6" Hibiscus blooms to provide some bright color in the fall garden.
