LoL, Alice, I don't know if Physical Grafitti is an actual cultivar, or it's possibly just a blanket nickname for those climbing cactus in general.

Hm, being an epiphytic cactus I don't know if they actually take a lot of nourishment from the pot. Mine is in the same pot I bought it in 18mo. ago, sitting on the gravel pathway by that fence. When I lift the pot there are no roots coming out the bottom. It's put out roots along the stem, and I recently started spritzing it with my orchid fertilizer occasionally, being sure to hit the aerial roots. That's what I'm thinking may have caused the flower.

I have a very late-blooming agapanthus that I just got the start of this spring. It's supposed to be a variegated one, 'Silver Streak' but after the first couple of leaves, all the rest are green. Humph!
