Can you help me identify these?

This first one, I believe, is Epiphyllum anguliger, but I hope someone can confirm this.

I don't know what this next one is:

This Epiphyllum has leaves which are very similar to the leaves of Christmas cactus:

By the way, I bought the last two at Home Depot along with a E. crenatum, E. chrysocardium, and Deamia testudo. Thanks for your help.

I just found a great link: http://ecology.org/orchids/index5.html#Epis It has a lot of very cool pictures. Anyway, I think my first picture may be Selenicereus anthonyanus.

I have these plants, but I don't know if I still have the labels, I even may have a catalogue that may be of some help, I could mail it to you. Norma

Hi Norma, that is really nice of you. I could send you postage if you wish.

Postage and address, the post office will not deliver without it. That would be great, it would make me happy for you to get these, I hope they will be of some help. Norma

Norma, I just sent you an email. I think I may have to wait until these bloom in order to have them identified correctly unless someone recognizes them from the foliage.

Clare I simply not familiar with this species at all. Norma

Clare the Epiphyylllum book does have a picture of one of your Epi's

1. May be E. anguliger true species it has a E. darrabii -E. anguliger this one has a strong mid rib, (raised)varieation in branches. I found your catalogues that I had left for you. Those I will just mail out, but I must have your snail mail address, the post office demands it. Norma

Thanks, Norma. I'll send you another email.

I don't know whether the first one is Epiphyllum anguliger or Selenicereus anthonyanus, but maybe the flower will give us a clue. The second also appears to be E. anguliger. Here's a site which says that there are variations with E. anguliger: http://www.epric.org/anguliger.html

Edited to add: This site also indicates that E. anguliger has several forms also: http://www.cactiinfo.com/encyclopaedia/e/epiphyllum/anguliger.html

There are actually three, I must have three forms, these are the true species. Norma

Ah, I see. Thanks, Norma.
