Sandy
Guess what? Mine (Epi Oxy). is sending out a 2nd flush of blooms. Here I've counted at least nine buds!
I am so happy for you. Looking forward to seeing multiple blooms on your plants. Let us know if it has any fragrance.

YAY YAY sis..way to go!
Hi Clemen, how are things in NY? My niece, is liking college life? I'll post more pics. as the Epi Oxy progresses.
KIM..........took your niece to school..Jav and I are DYING here, but she is holding! Her school is tiny enough..her roommate is just like her...............butttttttttt I want her near me..NOOOOOooo I DO NOT..SHE needs her own niche now..
NOW I am waiting for your babies, lol! Post as soon as you can! These were my girls saying good bye yesterday, sniff!!!! I still get tears..Now I need more cheerfull stuff..BLOOMS BLOOMS!!!
When it's time for our kid(s) to spread their wings -- and be all they can be. I know the feeling that you and Jav is going through ('cause I've been there). Be proud of the young one. She's going to make you proud! Boys, I know it has got to be tough for her little sister left behind. But, there is a season for each flower to show off their glow. Hugs to you and family. Now, go and hug your youngest. ^_^
Wow what is that?
I think i need to put a fan in my shade house next year, i think it was getting to hot in there.
Sandy
Hi PlantladyIn, I hope we're not hijacking your thread? Sandy that's a pix of a Daylily in display at a local botanical garden.
Here are the Epi Oxy today:
getting bigger, but still a ways to go.
Sandy
Ps I may have the snail problem under control now if I can just get rid of the Wasp!!!!! LOL
Sandy, be careful dealing with the wasps. DH got stung week before last, and that almost send him to the E.R.!
I'm glad to hear the snail problem is under control.
Thanks but to late! I went to the ER!! More of a safty measure. It took a little to long for my pills to kick in and it was safer for me to sit there, thought it was a little scarey for a few minutes there. I now have a liquid allergy meds
Ouch that hurts! I knew my hubby said it hurts. I'm now more leery of those bees/wasps out in the garden than I was in the past.
Hi lily & Sandy, Sorry to hear about the wasp stings. They can be bad. I have been off line for awhile, cleaning the sunroom windows, and getting ready for a trip to Illinois and California to see granddaughter, and great grandaughter and great grandson. My epi bloomed once more on Monday August 24th and it was one glorious sight -- 9 more blooms. DH was tired from a week of helping me houseclean and I told him not to stay up this time for pics. After he was asleep I sneaked out to the sunroom with my MP3 player, and sat in the dark for awhile, listening to music and singing along with some of it, looking up through the glass roof of the sunroom at the stars and the fireflies, and smelling the wonderful fragrance of the epis. DH got up and said he heard me singing to the plants -- it was one of those magical times. Believe it or not before we left a week ago Thursday on our trip, I could see more buds beginning to form. This will be the 4th flush of this year. How lucky can I be!
Jean
that is one happy plant!!!!!!
Have a good and safe trip
Sandy
Thanks, Sandy! I will keep feeding it banana peels and singing to it! It has made me one happy person!!!!!
Jean
Jean, there is some magical thing about this plant. They do make make me quite happy too. Look, some of these began to curve upward. Isn't it a little too early for the flowers to curve up like so, Sandy?

No it looks about right.
Sandy
One night soon you will have one of those magical nights. Don't go to bed without checking it!
Jean
Gorgeous....Mine are going for the second round too and I see a third, the electra fertilizer must be working!
Love your plant...I would be glad to trade pieces of hylocerius undatus.
Hugh
Is that a cactus or a epi?
If she does not have any cuttings I have a lot. LOL
Lin has first chance.
Sandy
hjmn4566: Beautiful bloom! It doesn't look like the pic's of H. undatus in Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54131/
Your bloom looks more like Epiphyllum hookeri: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/1925/
My Epi. oxypetalum doesn't look too great right now ... I moved it out to the back driveway where it's been getting way too much direct sun so I don't think I could get any decent looking cuttings right now.
Since Wren (whom I like to refer to as Epi Queen because she has hundreds of them) has lots of cuttings, why not do a trade with her?
I would be glad to send you some cuttings, with out a trade as right now I have more plants than I can handle. LOL(maybe going to have surgery on my shoulder)
Send me a Dmail with your Address and I will box some cuttings of the Epi oxypetalum up and send them to you
Sandy
my epi oxy has about 8 buds on it right now. I'm sure some of them will fall off...
I think mine is getting to much shade in the shade house.
Darn
Sandy
OK missed the third round...grrrr!!! Fourth one coming soon, I hope I do not miss it!
Oh, Clemen -- I know that feeling well. Seems like yours bloomed about the same time as mine -- missed three blooms while we were away, but got home on Thursday (the 17th) and the last two buds were beginning to open. Took a picture before going to bed and woke up at 2:00 a.m. for the final shot.
You were lucky Jean, YAY for ya!
Well I have quite a few more buds on it, can't believe this babe is going to bloom for the 4th time this Summer...I bet I will miss the blooms though!
Thanks Clemen. This has been a great year for epis. See post "Will Tonight be THE night started by Lily_Love. Is she your sister?
Haa haa, no we are not REAL sisters, only by DGarden's standards...Plant lovers I guess..I love that girl Jean!!!!!
LOL, did you say that just because you know I'd read your message. Tehehehe. Clemen. Make your confession; that we're truly sisters. lol. Just kidding everyone. ^_^
All joking aside, I missed two 'Hookerii' blooms the last 48 hours due to rain, rain, and more rain. Arrrghhh!!!
LOL. Guess we are all sisters! Sorry about missing your blooms, Lily. I have one advantage -- mine are inside, but sometimes even on the inside, I miss my blooms!
I've missed four or five hookeri blooms this past week .. just because I've been too lazy to go out in the backyard at midnight!
Well looks like we all missed our nice blooms....Now no excuse if it is raining..lol..
Hey Kim, yes sisters forvever!!!
Hi y;all here lurking. Test tomorrow.
Sandy
Clemen, ditto. Sandy what test?
a MRI on my shoulder. I have put up with the pain long enough. My poor epis have suffered this summer. I know it was time when I found that I could not type.
Sandy
So sorry Sandy. I know that you put so much time into your epis. Is there anyone near that could help you just for a little while for watering etc?. Maybe a college student who is interested in plants or biology, once a week for a hour or two.
