Hello boojum. The lady whose collection I bought was getting on in years and had not been able to look after the plants for years so they were in a shocking condition. All she wanted was a good home for them which is why I only had to pay a minimal amount. I ended up originally, with over 600 epis and many, many zygos, selenicereus, aporos and much more. There were 100s of dead plants also. Really sad. I had to sell a few to make room here and spent weeks trimming and repotting.
A labour of love for me though. I had 32 flower last year which was a lovely surprise as I thought they would take a while to recover. Now we have built a large greenhouse for them and with all the new growth you would not know they are the same plants.
Have a happy and safe Easter, Jean.
