No, that would be awesome though. it is a Christmas cactus. Definitely interested in the night blooming cacti you mentioned earlier. Where did you find it?

I breed them, but takes about 5 years to bloom. Anyone interested shoot me line. Needs lots of sun and high temps in the summer to do well.
another flower on a snowy night.
This is a dendrobian orchid. Note where the flower stalk starts. high on the plant. we stake them inside, but in the wild
they would pull the plant over. This one is unique because the flower pedals are green! These flowers have been out
for awhile, getting a little droopy.

South African Lilly is blooming. we have a few of these, as they like to reproduce - they bloom once per year, and
ya never know when cause of temp control. they need to be by a window, and in filtered light to be "cool"
Late spring bloom outside is more impressive.

Nice to see some color. It's at the point for me where I get excited to see a stand of green bamboo during a ride. Breaks up the brown!

Looking good.
We've had several over the last 2 years. They are difficult/finicky plants. 3 months after having one in really good shape, all of the leaves just dried up and fell off over the course of 2 weeks. Was left with stalks. Tried the once a week water. Tried the ice cube deal. Tried the squirt bottle. All No Dice.
they need filtered light - direct light can screw them up.
they should not be planted in soil, they are more like air ferns than a plant - orchid mix is more like wood chips
mist with room temp water every few days, a/c and hot air heat lower humidity levels, so they dry out.
most bloom once per year - blooms can last for months
depending on the type, you might cut off the flower stem, or cut it back to one of the nodes.
if you like orchids, go to Taida's in bridgewater - they are a wholesaler, but sell to the public. good prices
Buy ones with one flower blooming, so you know what they look like.
wegmans has some more exotic ones -
we have this one outdoors protected by a hibiscus. others are hanging in the trees - not blooming.
This one is fun - stalk grows, flowers, stalk dies, repeat - needs to be relocated in the pot, as it tries to walk out.
looks like last Halloween
