Nobody posted epis, although true South American cacti and they have really nice flowers.
Now blooming,

8) That lepismium bolivianum is so cool!! I have a L.monacanthum that is about to burst with flower buds. Can't wait! Show more pix if you have any more epi's.

Not quite true - they just don't get posted as much as the others. Glad to see you changing that with a couple of nice shots.

I also would like to see all the epi pics you can post!

Daiv, I was referring to the picture contest :wink: .
I have some more epis but the problem is that my old camera was no good. I don't have that many good pic's.
Now I've got a new, much better cam so I'll post more in the future.
A couple of the better ones:

Two of my favourite Rhipsalis:
R. pilocarpa

R. elliptica
Image
Epiphyllum anguliger
Image
Schlumbergera cultivar, no ID, one of the whites

Got it. Well your statement is "almost" true for the rest of the forum too. We need more epi-love around here! Nice plants. I have never grown R. pilocarpa. Similar in appearance to baccifera, but much bigger flowers. (big for Rhipsalis anyway)

I had a lot of Epi cuttings, but it got too cold for some of them even in my green house this winter. Most of the plants that survived are still too small to flower, but it would make me a very happy camper if they did! Next winter I'm getting a better heater and better insulation!

Nice little flowers mate, I've got Lepismium Cruciforme, no flowers yet - they're only fairly new cuttings, and I've got L. houlletianum too...
