Wedding Bells

Wedding Bells is a lovely small bloom with white and pink petals.  The plant is still rooting.  Techinically, I should pinch off any blooms on rooting plants, but I just couldn't resist seeing this bloom myself. 

Calisto


Calisto was one of my first epiphyllums that bloomed.  It was practically the one that lured me into wanting more for my collection.  A beautiful white with outer yellow petals.

Coral Dance


Coral Dance - I've been waiting for this one to bloom since last year, so it definitely a worthwhile wait considering it bloomed abundantly.

Shangri La



 
Another unexpected bloom - Shangri La.  It's definitely a beautiful one.  I acquired the plant as a bonus and in comparison to other Shangri La epiphyllums, this appears to be variegated.  Nonetheless, it makes it strikingly attractive.  I was fortunate to capture the stages of blooming.

Vista Sun


Vista Sun bloomed like crazy this year.  I loved the initial fragrance and the abundance of yellow flowers was truly beautiful.  One photo was taken in the morning, from above, and the other photo was taken as the sun was beginning to set, from below. Regardless, the vibrant yellow gives off a warm appeal.

Melt Down


This one is Melt Down.  I didn't expect this one to bloom this year either.  It's matured a lot since I've acquired it, so it was a welcome bloom after seeing Golden Jubilee.

Golden Jubilee



My first bloom of 2012 - Golden Jubilee.  I didn't expect this to bloom, but it did.  My first Epiphyllum plant I acquired upon joining the San Diego Epiphyllum Society.  It was truly a great way to start the blooming season.
