Worth waking-up for...

This made some interesting reading and your Pink Epicactus is beautiful Pete

 

It's the first time I've seen this thread. The flowers are absolutely amazing!

 

There's some absolutely stunning hybrids Sheal it's a shame that they've really dropped off the radar of "fashionable plants" they were really big in the 1900's and they had a bit of a revival in the 50's, 60's & 70's along with lots of other cacti

have a look here for some really mouth watering pictures

Where did you dig this up from
Aesculus, didn't I sent you a piece of one a couple of years ago, white flowered, grew like crazy?

Anyway Dave P, sent me some cuttings of his white flowered one, Cooperi, or whatever.
I've still got some of it but I find it a bit shy flowering.

I've also still got the pink one, so if you want a bit .......:WINK1:

 

Haha,

Yes I had the white one for a few months and then I mistakenly left it in the care of my mother

I've now got some more and have a small collection of 15 cuttings of different cultivars in a number of states of growth

You know me far to well Pete I'd love a bit of your Pink one as it's beautiful I might have some rooted cuttings to swap by the end of the year if you like?
