I have buds on my Epiphyllum hookeri again and have been going out with the flashlight and camera in hand to see if I can after @32 years of owning this plant, finally see a bloom opened!
One is getting close and three others are in different stages. This is a night bloomer and the huge plant is out under a tree in the corner of the backyard. I have been out twice and plan on staying up and checking every few hours! It had a bud a few days ago and I thought it was going to be a few days ... went out yesterday morning and the durned thing had bloomed and I missed it ... again! I want to see if it is fragrant. Someone told me it is but I just read somewhere else that it is not a scented Epi.

Anyway, here's the opening bud ... look at the ants on it!
