6 of my 9 have bloomed have bloomed this month, and Epi crenatum will before the end of the month.
I'll start with Deutsche Kaiserin
Is Sopi the only one with a bloom in April?
Next , A NOID (maybe 'pink cloud')
A NOID dark orange
Stern Von Erlau
Couranti
OOPs, clicked the wrong thing. Here's Couranti
and last, but not least a NOID coral
Really really gorgeous!
OCCAROL Absolutely Beautiful and very healthy looking. Being in the midwest I can only hope I see a bloom. It has to get warm enough to get them outside first, we've had nothing but cold and rainy. Yeah I'm complaining....LOL your pictures gave me hope. ha ha
Ya, I'm blessed (?) with Ca. weather, but a friend on another site has gotten her Epis to bloom in the house by moving them from the "cool" room to the warmer room. We've been cool , cloudy, and drizzley here this week too, but next week 's supposed to get up around the 80s again. Our typical spring roller coaster ride.
I have moved them to a little brighter light and actually have started feeding them with hopes that it will start to stay warmer than 50. I think at least 3 of mine have a chance to bloom this year. You sure have a nice looking california yard, like the citrus tree. I've got apple and cherry, the cherries are starting to set blooms and the plums are doing well too.
Haha! It's not much of a yard, but bigger than most mobile home parks around here. That shade house for my orchids is a work in progress. It will be enclosed , somehow, by winter. I wanted a greenhouse, but couldn't fit one in without removing a tree. On the plus side, I can mow and edge my tiny patch of grass in 5 minutes.
When you say you're feeding your Epis, you do mean with bloom food, right?
Only 5 minutes mowing, leaves alot more time for playing with your greenhouse add on. I have a nice sun porch but its not heated so I can't use it until.......would you believe 2 to 3 inches of rain today ugh. I am feeding them with Schultz Bloom Plus, I put some of my epis out today to let the rain water them.
Got my fingers crossed for you!
Thanks, if I get any blooms you can bet I'm posting pictures!!!
OCCAROL your epis are gorgeous and so are the pictures. I am inspired.
Thank you!
absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful!!
Bob's May Flowers! Mor Mor
My Red Noid!
Looking great, Bob! Mine are almost done now. only thing left to bloom is Epi crenatum.... another wek?
Beautiful Bob. How big is the pink bloom? Its gorgeous.
Great blooms!!!
I am out of town right now and my daughter took the pictures for me. Therefore, I don't know the bloom size until I see it for myself if it is still there. The plant had three buds so I will get to see one of them. I'll let you know about size. SPACE ROCKET FROM LAST SEASON. 8" BLOOM

Mor Mor was 9" across and a beautiful gift! The plant below is Mor Mor in bud.
Another Red Noid that has about eight blooms on it. It was given to me by a Dave's friend who helped me get started with Epies. I really love it.
"Wild Thing" surprised me this evening when we returned It has a beautiful 7" bloom with very vivid coloration.
Also in bloom is "April Showers" which has blooms that open to approx. 3" and are a dark purple red. Blooms last several days.
I love to see a closer view of April Showers.

Beautiful..I love the Mor Mor, it is such a pretty pink. 9", thats a big flower.
My Epi. crenata opened last night. It is a night bloomer, but will stay open for several days. This is last years pic. as the one I took this morning didn't turn out well.
Hopefully, this pic of Wild Thing will be better.
Ha ha! Much better without the copyright across it!
Great pictures ... Love to see those blooms. I immediately put 'Deutsche Kaiserin' on my must have list.
I've only had a couple bloom so far this year.
Aporophyllum 'Moonlight'
Aporophyllum 'Oakleigh Conquest'
Epi 'Antonia D'
OOOw, really like that moonlight!
I love everyone's blooms! My Dad has been peeking over my shoulder looking at them. We found out a lady down the road has epis in her hanging baskets and they've been in bloom. I pointed them out to him and now he can't wait to see mine eventually bloom.
It will take a couple of years! Make friends with that lady, and I'll bet she will share cuttings.
