Iridescent Anna's
It was a bit of a gray day today. But there was still enough
sunlight to show off this guy's beautiful plumage.

Iridescent Epi Blossom
One of our Orchid Cacti, blooming like crazy. It may
look like a close macro shot, but it is actually THAT BIG!
'Bout 9" across. I have kind of gone wild with Orchid Cacti.
We actually have about a hundred epis now.
Most started from small cuttings.

Epiphyllum Irridescense
Last Sunday there was a Cactus and Succulent show here in Santa Barbara.
We went looking for some new Epiphyllums, and specifically this one.
I saw one the day before at a Nursery and had my fingers crossed they would
have it at the show. We got this one as a single pad cutting. Of course
that one pad is about two feet long and four inches wide, with two blossoms.
To get an idea of the scale, the petals are almost an inch across and about five long.
The whole blossom is at least eight inches across.
I hope you like it, because there are more Epi photos to come. We got
seven cuttings at the show of six different varieties! I think it
is safe to say we have a jungle in our back yard now since I have
long since lost count how many we have.

Hummer-Hawk
She looks like she is perched, just waiting for lunch to scurry by.
The only problem with that is flowers usually don't scurry.
In reality, she is stretching her neck out and tilting her head back and forth
trying to figure out why
there is a strange creature with a 300mm nose stalking her.
