Does anyone know where to get original epiphyllums?

I love the original night blooming epiphyllums. I'm trying to build my collection but finding it difficult if not impossible to find them. Everyone has hybrids. All the epip sites have hybrids only.What happened to the originals? Are they extinct? I can't even find pictures of them.I have Hookeri, Pumilum, and Oxypetalum.


There are 19 species of Eiphyllum

Eiphyllum anguliger
E. cartagense
E. caudatum
E. columbiense
E. costaricense
E. cranatum and var crenatum, var kimnachii
E. floribundum
E. grandilobum
E. guatemalense
E. hookeri
E. laui
E. lepidocarpum
E. oxypetalum
E. phyllanthus
E. pittieri
E. pumilum
E. rubrocoronatum
E. thomasianum
E. trimetrale

Tuffy09: I have:
E. anguliger
E. Thomasianum
I got both through Ebay. If you like, I will send you starts when old enough. bob

Yeah sure thanks!! :) Do you have a picture of the Thomasianum flower? I been trolling ebay daily all I ever see is anguliger,hookeri and oxypetalum. I got lucky a few weeks ago and found pumilum.The nursery that was saleing it had it listed under cactus not epiphyllum and called it night blooming cactus.So I had to hunt for the real name.Hopefully it lives it wasn't very healthy looking. I've never seen such small leaves on an epi looks like it was grown in a closet.

D Mail me your address. bob

I seen a few of them at epiphyllum.net. I'm sure if you emailed the people at the larger epi sites they would help you out. Roxanne

Have you tried Bob Smoley's company?

I found some at Bob Smoley's. Thanks!

Glad to be of help.
