    I can see all the pics now, Sis, and it's looking really good.

    The mother plant in Algoz looks quite straggly and horrid and that awful conifer showing through, think it needs to be cut right back.

    That Epiphyllum (Orchid Cactus) growing up the lampost in Algoz is blooming, but I still think they are an untidy plant.

    Thanks Sis, and yes, the Epiphyllum do look rather untidy but the blooms are real eye-catchers.

    Ours didn't bloom much this year, a few small flowers and that was it. Perhaps it needs repotting, but it is such an awkward and dangerous job.
