Hi!
I found this plant at a Home Depot today. Does it have beautiful flowers? Is it worth $11?
I tried googling it but there are no pictures available.
Thank you!
Rhips brasiliensis for sale
Hi Spider, that species name is probably wrong, which is probably why you can't find anything on it. That species name just means that it is from Brazil originally, I think. It is probably another Rhipsalis like R. pilocarpa. Here's a link to all the Rhipsalis plants in PlantFiles. Here another good link with some Rhipsalis pictures: http://www.ecology.org/orchids/index5.html#rhipsalis
I bought a Rhipsalis at Home Depot for about that price, but I gave it away. These things start really easily from cuttings if you can find someone to trade with. I'm wasn't particularly impressed with the very small flowers, but I'm sure, if they are en masse, they are a pretty sight. One or two here and there is hardly noticeable. I personally would rather have the big, showy flowers like those of Epiphyllums if I had to choose between them.
Thank you Care!
I think I am going to give this Rhips a miss! :o)
