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

Iridescent Epi BlossomOne 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 IrridescenseLast 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-HawkShe 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. |
