Orchid Cactus ‘Clown’ (Epiphyllum hybrid)

I am delighted as I have new shoots since planting the cutting end of January ...

 

That's an amazing flower @Victoria!

 

I know ... I can't wait to get a flower.

 

It is growing quite fast ...


This is the other Orchid cactus which got nibbled on with new growth ...



These are blooms on the mother plant ...

 

Lovely plant @Victoria

 

Just took a picture of where this Orchid Cactus lives in the Iochronium ...

 

Lovely pics. I had to re do my Orchid cactus last year - it had got way too large to bring indoors over winter. Happy to report I had the new cutting produce 2 flowers last month.

 

Would love to see photos.

 

Sorry no pics of the new cuttings yet. I managed to root 3 separate cuttings from the original - 1 flowered as said. Already between 6 - 9 inches tall but need re potting really to ensure they stay healthy - other garden stuff took over I'm afraid.
When I lived in Spain years ago, I could happily grow them in the garden ( along with my other cacti ) without having to worry about bringing them in over winter.

 

Excitement ... I have three buds of The Clown ...

 

Looks promising @Victoria I don't know that variety - presumably Red or Pink ? Mone is looking healthy enough but needs a re pot and feed - your pic is a timely reminder

 

A cutting of this I believe ...

 

Ta da ... At last a bloom ... which doesn't loo at all lie I thought it would ...





The buds on the other stem obviously fell off but has these now ...

 

That looks exactly the same shade of red as mine @Victoria

 

Interesting plant and lovely flowers, though not a plant we have come across before.

Looking on the web there are a few ebay places selling cuttings but you never know what they are like.

Do either of you know of a good uk seller as think these would grow well in our orchid enclosure.

Thanks.
