Doc--

Is that my NBC Orchid cactus hanging in the window?
I have a couple good-growing new plants of it available.....

I have 2 Red Epis that are doing great. One of them has bloomed twice--
and then just about died over last winter. Got all dessicated and brittle.
I rescued a couple leaves that seemed to still have some green in them--
added a few leaves I had rooting, transplanted both into 10" HB, and they both
grew into a very healthy plants last summer. Gave them a sunny spot.
Watered a lot and fed now and then....

The other one has never bloomed....I think it is a different variety of a Red Epi--
the leaves are thicker and a bit triangular. It is doing well also.
Can't wait to see both of them bloom! Especially if the the plants have different blooms.

Here they both are hanging in my LR big window. Light is so-so as the patio
roof outside interferes with full sun--even though I have skylights (dirty)....
