Blushing Star

Blushing Star was one of the first five Epiphyllums I started off with.  Considering it's been over a year of having the plant in my collection, it was definitely a great joy to see in bloom.  Surprisingly, it has matured with tons of buds waiting to unleash its loveliness.  So, I'll be seeing it bloom blushes of dark rose-pink for some time. 

Dragon Heart

Dragon Heart has a striking yet appealing name but it has a fitting look. Supposedly, each bloom from the same plant can vary in appearanc.  I missed the bloom by a day or two, so the flower was just starting to fade, but it definitely stood out among the other blooming plants. 

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.
