    I have Haworthia... or I'm pretty sure that's what it is. But it's never bloomed.

    Theodoros; Wow I love all the photo's and the different flowers they all have. That last one is very neat and strange looking. Looks like some kind of a star fish. I have hens and chicks but mine always bloom pink. I will have to see if I can find a yellow bloomer. :stew1:

    Very lucky Teo to have that pitahaya bloom.
    Mine is huge, in the apartment (in a pot) but has never bloomed. I am thinking to cut it short next spring and take it to my parents' yard... to get all the sun it needs!

    WOW.
    Cool Epy.
    I fell in love with it when I was in Taiwan and one evening, coming back from work,I just saw a plant in full bloom in a pot.
    But I have tried to grow it, and other types of Epy. Problem is their growth habit. Doesn't look like a neat plant. They can get very messy... so I gave up.

    Nice Ceropegia of course!
    My C. sandersonii plants grow and grow but no blooms.

    you're right Calin the epy. is quite surprising in their cultivation,, I'm glad you liked, also notes that the Ceropegia has them in clay pots and large, maybe that is the problem not bloom,,, I got the plants in very small plastic pots...........
