Yeah, I know, you guys want to be gardening outside, and what the heck am I asking about Epiphyllum here? Because you guys get to more nurseries than I ever will, and you could point me to the places I want to go.

Now, lets disregard the big players of plants in the North King and South Snohomish, cause I know what they have: Molbaks, Sky, Swainson's, Emery's, Flower World. In smaller players, we can drop the Indoor Sun Shoppe, and City Peoples. I have been bummed out recently, as back in the 80s there must have been 3 or 4 places to buy plants around Seattle and the Eastside, and 3 are no longer, and one is a shadow of its former self.

So, who has Epiphyllum, Orchid Cactus, Queen of the Night, what ever name you want to use, they are all quite ungainly plants that fill a 10-12" hanging basket when mature, but have astounding blooms. And can be amazingly scented. Attached is a picture of a mature plant in bloom from the Amatuer's Digest, and below is a link to a Google Query for pictures of Epis:

I would like to buy several mature plants, and would prefer to buy locally as it could cost a bundle to ship the stuff I want.
