jmr Posted September 19, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2006 Fernando, the subtle colour works well with the black background - very nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted September 19, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 19, 2006 This is no way a Echinopsis..it is one form of of an Epiphylum..probably a Brazilian variety. Lovely flower. Thanks for sharing Regards, Leicamann:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernando_b Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks to both. John (Mead), from your posts I assume you know if all those die after generating the flower; only mine was unfortunate or do all die? Thank you in advance. Fernando.

leicamann Posted September 20, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 20, 2006 Yes I realize that..in fact most species that are "purer strain" do die..the very rare species found by renound English Botanist and artist Mageret Mee...found a very rare Moonflower.....Selenicereus Wittii ..of the same genetic strain as yours..but very rare..she found it on the Rio Negro in the Amazon...the bloom last only for the duration of the night and only blooms at night. The front of her webpage features her with this remarkable flower..of course this one is white. I also suggest you look at the amazing rare video clip of her describing the flower and drawing it in the middle of the night..... just seeing one my hero's( she was a real courageous pioneer) brings up alot of emotion for me. People have no idea what she has done for Amazon awareness... Oddly and sadly after spending nearly 25 years braving all the perils of the Amazon, she was killed in an autombile accident in England.... a tremendous loss to all us avid botanists. Here is the link Title page for Margaret Mee and the Moonflower Regards, Leicamann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
