I hope so too, Betty.

Just a reminder to all that would like to have this plant--I have a pile of rooted cutings ready to mail out. Just send me a D-mail and we will take it from there.

NOW---I have a question to ask you all about my Epis. I am not sure I posted this already or not, but I sure have not had any replies.

I have 2 Red Epis. Got them as a single leaf about 4 years ago. They have now grown to a good, sprawly size. In the winter, I have them on a shelf right up against my big LR window. They do not get direct sun, as I have a high patio roof outside this window, but it does have 4 sky lights in it.

This winter I have noticed a weird. spikey "leaf" formation from the tips of two of the leaves. Can someone tell me if this is of any concern? Is this just s normal growth that will flatten out and become a regular leaf? They really look weird! They have tet to bloom, by the way. Maybe this summer????

Here's a couple of pictures.......Gita
