It could also be a hybrid as it does have a yellowish tinge. The plant has grown in a year from a very small cutting growing in a half-pint plastic cup with hardly any soil. And it produced 3 flowers simultaneously about 6 weeks ago!

As you say because of a yellowish tinge might be some hybrid...God, one could specialise in Epiphyllums, so many beautiful colours and hybrids to choose from. One only needs space...and according to you NO pampering or feeding, just stick them in a cup! Amazing! Congratulations!

David and Hinterland, I am not sure of the correct name of your Epiphyllum. I started growing Epipyllumsmore then 10 years ago. It was the common oxypetalum given to me by my sister in a large pot. It took time to flower but now it flowers twice a year. A few years agoI bought Elektra and Desert Moon[/i ]as I loved their flowers. It did not take long before I got hooked to their easy growing and now we have 17 of them of twelve different varieties. I know all their names because they were labelled. I have taken to growing them in small pots and giving them as presents to friends.

I have just repotted the Epiphyllum which started this chain. I thought it might be of interest to see just how little soil was needed for it to grow from a cutting of one leaf about 8 inches long and produce 3 full sized flowers in a year from taking the cutting. Let's hope it appreciates its new pot and that it isn't one of those plants that will only flower if it is maltreated.
By the way, I am not related to the incredible hulk or his like, my hands are normal size.
