Epiphyllum time. No-ID bloom.

| It's epiphyllum time!
Here's a no-ID hybrid blooming now. Fully open blooms are about 6-7 inches wide and softly fragrant. It probably drops half its buds before they open, so that can be a bit annoying. But as the plant gets bigger, it seems to hold more buds each year. They like to be potbound before they bloom. About 3 years from cuttings. They winter over in my cool garage with some light and seem to prefer cool winter temps to set buds, although I've had them bloom after an entire winter indoors too. They're not bothered much by buds - but aphids can be a problem sometimes. If anyone can ID this, let me know!
I have another called Pegasus that will bloom soon. First bloom on this plant. May post pictures when it blooms if anyone is interested. |

| Bear, I know a lot of these hybrids look alike. Thanks for the link. If it's not 'Clown', it is sure close to it! I'll enjoy for what it is. |
