After babying mine for over 5 years, I've decided I don't like the paleness of the blooms! (plus it gets too much wind where it is planted so the leaves and blooms are always tattered. I say, feed the compost pile!<br /><br />ANNIE OF AUSTIN - I've put off responding because I haven't done any research to help me decide what night blooming cactus I actually DO have! I don't think the one I pictured in this post is the same as Carol's. I wish the plant was also pictured. This one has flat branches. I have another that has branches that are three sided and blooms that are HUGE! Guess I need to do a little reading!Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888999648897092221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-85022610383334075262009-07-13T13:21:02.137-05:002009-07-13T13:21:02.137-05:00It's gorgeous Mary Beth, but you're right-...It's gorgeous Mary Beth, but you're right- doesn't look exactly like <a href="http://maydreamsgardens.blogspot.com/2009/06/night-bloomer-blooms.html" rel="nofollow">the photos of Epiphyllum oxypetalum that Carol of May Dreams posts each year</a>.<br /><br />I found a different, more cactus-ey looking plant in a little pocket guide to the desert bought at Big Bend called Cereus greggii. When I looked that up I was redirected to <a href="http://www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/whites/white51.html" rel="nofollow">Peniocereus greggii</a>. What do you think? <br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-4672433498083609882009-07-09T23:56:20.082-05:002009-07-09T23:56:20.082-05:00ooh, this is definitely a plant for me.

We could hang out together. :-)<br />I haven't been by for a while so I took a little time catching up on your blog. So many good entries. I have had an Angel's Trumpet for three years now and it's not doing well at all. I'm thinking (horror of horrors) of composting it at the end of the season. Isn't it terrible to baby a plant along only to discover it really isn't working for you? It's always a treat to see what you're growing in your warm climate. We are still waiting for heat up here!Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-30389038398958694222009-07-01T21:09:34.248-05:002009-07-01T21:09:34.248-05:00Jan - I'd love to see a photo of yours! - my ...Jan - I'd love to see a photo of yours! - my plant looks so pitiful, I'd love to see a healthy specimen.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888999648897092221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-69563854225599165632009-06-27T21:03:27.102-05:002009-06-27T21:03:27.102-05:00I love this plant and look forward every summer to...I love this plant and look forward every summer to its blooming even if I do have to go out in the middle of the night in my jammies.<br /><br />Jan<br />Always GrowingJanhttp://alwaysgrowing.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
