Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Huge 8" pure white spidery, widely flaring flowers are born in spring on this long time favorite of ours. The cultivar name was lost to antiquity but of the white varieties that we have grown this is easily our favorite. Excellent healthy foliage and generally a well branching habit on this easily grown cactus-like plant with 1.5" wide, flat, scalloped branches to 8'. Hybrid Orchid Cactus typically open at night but often last well through the next day. Epiphyllums are one of the few true jungle Cacti where they are often found growing with the orchids and bromeliads far removed from the forest floor. If pollinated the flowers can mature into deliciously edible fruit.
