EPIPHYLLUM OXYPETALUM

This photo of the Epiphyllum flower was taken at HortPark's Home Garden on 4 Dec 08.

This particular cultivar was rather free flowering and frequently rewarded us with multiple blossoms on the same plant. As with all Epiphyllum, the flowers are ephemeral and last only a day but are lightly fragrant.

Unfortunately since my colleague took over this corner, I don't see this plant anymore.

This photo reminds me that I need to find this plant and hopefully plant it back at the Home Garden so that others can have the opportunity to admire and appreciate its beauty.
