What a great assortment of plants!! I could live right there! (what do you do if it's windy?)
Now, what is that to the right of and a little in front of the Bowiea volubulis?
What is the small round one in front of the E. milottii?

Glad you find them interesting.
to the right of and a little in front of the Bowiea volubulis - that would be Cibirhiza albersiana, in the process of starting new growth.
- and the tiny round one is a Lophophora williamsii.

Actually, they are pretty stable in windy weather. The deck is very protected. I will take some of the plants off the railing, that's about all.

Amazing collection Ursula. So many gems!

Ursula, your plants are amazing!!!! I'm just drooling over here!

The Epi blooms in this thread are fantastic.

Ursula you move a wonderful and amazing number of plants over the course of a year.

The big question is how she did all that when she was working full time!!!!!

Kathy, good question. Evenings and weekends in double time! Essentially I am now usually 3 days "on" and 4 days "off"....

Thanks!

Ken, my plants enjoy the vacation outdoors over the Summer here in this climate ( most of the time) and it is easier on me too.
Besides, comes Spring, that greenhouse really needs a good scrubbing.
And - it is good exercise for me.... I think.....

Epiphyllum oxypetalums and Epi phyllanthus are now also outside/on the Deck - after I gave the plants a good trimming. There is no need to let the anchoring/long skinny growth take off. (Actually those also got trimmed a few times during the Winter.)


Epi x Ackermannii is starting to bloom in front of the house.


And there is the pretty Sinningia cardinalis blooming its little heart out.

Ackermannii is beautiful! My climbers on oxtpetalum went up and over the 10' block wall, looking for sun! Epi crenatum finaly opened up a few nights ago. It's a night bloomer, but the flowers last a few days. Bad pic due to crowded conditions....

Oo. Nice Carol and Ursula!

Thanks.
Gorgeous, Carol!! And not a bad pic at all!

Those Epis are lovely. I think I have one but it has never bloomed. I'll have to get a photo of it and get a positive ID from you experts. It has very big leaves.

Nice photos everyone!

My two antique clivia's are blooming this month..I'm still waiting on the youngster..a yellow
one that's 7 years old to bloom. These plants are from the early 80's and are mealy bug
infested...but still put on a nice show.

They look great Lindsey, you'd never know they had bugs.....I especially detest mealy bugs.

It turns out my Epi didn't change colour after all.....it lasted for about 4 days though and has 3 more blooms coming

Cool!!!
My clivias get mealies too. I hand pick them and must be vigilant!

I am waaaaay past hand picking, this is a full fledged infestation, that I've been
in denial about for MONTHS!

I have a few hoyas that I've been in denial about.......

We are talking bug eliminating rampage here.... Springtime brings out the killer instinct?

Nice Clivias!
