My Epiphyllum {new pictures}

[journey11]

Ron,
Yes, mine came in the mail about a week ago. I've got 5 potted right now, small ones (look very similar to sunstar's) and several cuttings I purchased of 3 other varieties that I will pot soon (letting them callous first). I am very excited to see them bloom and I hope I don't have to wait more than a year!

Poor Bertha , I went a little crazy on her today.

I went to walk by and typical of an Epip she got my attention by poking me in the eye.( litterally).

So down she came to table level and this is what she looks like now.

for refresher:
before

During:

and the final result:{ after a few hours of studying how to best accomplish my goal.

I used 3 ~2 ft bamboo hoops and Soft Twist Wire so as not to cut the stems.
She will graduate up to taller hoops after the shock of gently pulling the arms into an upright position.
She now has glamore to add to her beauty.
