German Empress - Seven Day Bloom!

    If your a regular visitor to my blog, you know that I like epiphyllum plants and Mike has several varieties through out the garden.  The blooms are in different colors and sizes, but unfortunately only last a few days.  I was very surprised when I realized that this bloom had been looking great for seven days!  This variety is called German Empress and Mike gave it to me last year.

    Mike has a Epiphyllum German Empress growing by the side of the house that gets covered blooms.  And as you can see below it looks great!
