This afternoon....
My first bloom
....and this evening....
The smell is amazing for only one blossom. By the way, it is Epiphyllum "William Clark"
A very pretty bloom.
Thank you! I've had these for so long, I thought they would never bloom. Now, I have about 9 others that don't show any sign of buds.
Beautiful flower.
I think the cold set mine back. Hope by next year I will have figured out how to heat the Epi house.
I think I will lose 2 of mine to after effect of the winter.

Oh no! I'm so sorry!
Because I live in Ohio, I keep mine inside in a sunny window all winter - it's a good thing I only have 10 or so!
Well this winter was much worse than any we have had in over 30-50 years. Most came through in great shape, just a couple of the younger cuttings are not going go.
I have a lot of great new growth and I think I would rather the plants put on the new growth so they well be stronger next year.
I did have my Easter cactus bloom.

Wow! That is a Beautiful Epiphyllum, I love the color on that flower. Great growing!
edited to say: Please consider uploading your photo to Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/115968/ There's only one photo so far for that plant.

That is a beautiful bloom. Congrats. I am patiently ( ok not so patiently)waiting for my first blooms.
Enjoy. Linda
Beautiful bloom, and to have nice scent is a bonus!!!
I am just getting my first blooms on my Epies that I have had for about a year. Six plants are blooming, including Color Wheel, Avery Fuller, French Gold, Lily Dache, and Over the Top. Some appear to small to bloom but may have smaller flowers. I will post pictures as I have them. bob
Wonderful! And I have this one although it won't be blooming this spring. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
