Rhipsalis (Rhipsalis teres f. prismatica)
i'm wondering if there may be some Crassula muscosa mixed in with this plant. i see two different leaf types present.
ps. i found this picture because i am trying to id a Rhipsalis i recently purchased....no luck as of yet. thanks!
In Plantladylin's picture, I believe what you're seeing is the difference between mature stems and immature stems. Many Rhipsalis have stems that differ -- often with hair-like spines on angled stems for young growth, but smooth terete stems as the plant matures.
Some Rhipsalis are distinctive, but others can be tough to ID, so I know how you feel, Trackinsand! I've got F. Süpplie's book, I've poured over Rhipsalis-dot-com, and even with flowers and fruit I've got one I can't pin down.
thanks for your insight, ooojen. i think i finally id'ed mine as R. pilocarpa.
Good deal! It always feels rewarding to get the right name dug up! Pilocarpa is, IMO, one of the all-around prettiest Rhips. Enjoy!
thank you and i think it's really pretty too! one of those "scores" from hd that you run across every now and again.
Gosh I need a new HD!
kell, you're so funny-you pop up everywhere!
I guess I am a DG nomad. LOL
yeah, it's more fun that way sometimes!
