50 blooms on one plant......wow......that must have been a huge plant. Do you have other species Epiphyllum? I had several when I lived in Texas but gave them all away. I knew I wouldn't have anyplace to overwinter them up here. Had a really huge RicRac, but it never did bloom.

Brugs can be a pain. They are such heavy feeders and take a tremendous amount of watering. The ones I've got in the ground(cuttings from my original) haven't done nearly as well this year as usual. I guess cause of the drought. Because this one is by the deck it gets more care than the others. It hadn't done much of anything this year until I had a 'Duh' moment a month or so ago. Spider mites. After I sprayed it.....it went crazy and is bloomin it's head off.
I used to have a pink one(Frosty Pink), but tried to overwinter it out side and it died. Here's an old picture of it. Someday I hope to get another one. I really loved it.
