In 2008 I will have a garden at 3700 ft.This will be the first time I will be able to grow and flower these incredible plants.I remember seeing these for the first time at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego many years ago.

What are your favorite cultivars and where is the best place to buy cuttings?

There are so many hybrids of epiphyllum that it would be hard to pick faves. There are also so many more types of epiphytic cacti than just epiphyllums that are worth growing.

You might try a site called Epiforum.com

They have a lot of info there.

I have a bunch of different epiphytic cacti, I agree they are neat. But they can be real space hogs.

Yeah, they are space hoggers.  I got rid of them all because these plants are gourmet food to snails.  I could hang them off the ground but its not very pleasing to the eyes.  Besides, the flowers barely last a day.  There are so many variety and flower colors.  The Wild Animal Park here in San Diego has a pretty big collection.  There is also a yearly sale during the spring.
