Red Epiphyllum

This is the first Epiphyllum I ever got. It was a gift from a co-worker who have since retired. It's a noid but the size of the bloom is large and I love the red. I would have had two blooms but I accidentally knocked off one bud. The plant itself has gotten pretty large so I'm hoping to get more blooms next time around.

I like it too but I have no idea how big it'll get. I've had it about 2 years now and it started off with a couple of leaves only.

Nice! I like the red also

The bloom from the cutting you gave me is getting big, with a salmon color showing. Should be open any day now, I'm getting excited to see it!

Thanks everyone. I really like red too. The flower id bigger than I remembered it and I took a cutting to start a new plant.

Norris, hope you get a pic. of it when it blooms cause I'm interested to see what it looks like. Then again if it's a night blooming one you may miss the blooming.
