All Things Bright And Beautiful.

\ Does it make you feel good when you see what beautiful things nature has collected for us? I grow a vast range of unusual indoor plants which range from Orchids, Epiphyllums, Bromiliads, to beautiful foliage Begonias. I like to learn about their requirments, and I know they repay my care with amazing flowers, and also they make me feel happy. May be I should have been a Botonist…

Hi Angela, how nice is it being a floral designer? I love art and do paint quite often. The plant is a wow is'nt it. It is a type of Epiphyllum. which are epiphytes in their natural settings, growing on trees, but they are not parasites, so they do not draw nourishment from their hosts. The flowers are massive, and highly perfumed, sadly they open at night, and last only till mid morning. They also produce edible fruits, and the majour plant part has medicinal properties. It is very prickerly though, a few times this summer I have accidently bumpt into it. Anyway, Have a nice weekend.
