Double flower!

Epiphyllum oxypetalum. Pot it in well draining soil and give it some direct sunlight and it’ll do well 🙂 the pot shouldn’t be too scarce either, if you want to see flowers. If you’re thinking of potting up cuttings in a pot, choose a smaller pot if you have fewer cuttings. They like the stems to be close to each other.

Appalachian Cliff Saxifrage 

Saxifrage michauxii ( biosyn: Micranthes petiolaris )

Through out the rocky splash cliff communities in Appalachia grows the unique appalachian endemic cliff saxifrage, if you find this species there is a chance that other prostrate and or densely pubescent hydrophilic cliff dwelling species are also assembled there.   

Common assemblages- 

Round leaf drosera, film mosses, rock cliff mosses,

brook saxifrage, Oconee saxifrage, hornworts, many liverworts, 

small-flowered alumroot, palmate false saxifrage, rock club mosses, lithophytic ferns, cliff foam flower, violets, 

enchanter’s night-shade, meadow rue, mountain meadow rue, drooping sod, and many others. 

Photographed in the Appalachian Mountains in June

The picotee NOID African Violet finally opened enough to photograph. It had a couple of blooms in a half-open state for so long.

Once things cool off outside I’ll move some into the upstairs/attic, but for now they’re hanging out under the one kitchen window with counter surface underneath (the sills aren’t big enough to hold plants). I also have a brand-new flame violet that will join them upstairs, but it’s currently on the enclosed porch because the rest of these guys have gotten BIG! The mostly-purple one is close to 11" and the two pink ones are at least 10".
