Photos of birds, fish, flowers and miscellaneous things that catch my eye and instill a sense of wonder.

Hot, Hot Midnight
Epiphyllum Midnight, blooming in the garden. Epiphyllums are easy to grow. They have awesome flowers. They are downright durable. I'm always amazed that you don't see more of these around. Perhaps they're not as popular as they could be because each flower only lasts a couple of days or due to the odd spine or two... Still, on a full grown plant, they bloom for weeks with bloom after bloom, making an incredible display.

Where do they grow naturally? Are they epiphitic?
Why yes indeed, they are epiphytic, growing in the detritus that collects in the jungle trees of Central America!
