Epiphyllum is a genus of epiphytic succulents native to Mexico/Central America. They are known for their broad, flat leaves and their large flowers, which often bloom for only one day.
Many people collect them, trading with other collectors and breeding hybrids (of which there are approximately 20,000 registered).
So, here's the thread to discuss them. Need information? Looking to grow some? Are you already an avid collector?
I just bought my first, after being introduced to them on an Epiphyllum forum. It's an Oxypetalum, which is known for it's large, fragrant, white flowers which bloom for only one night. I'm already addicted!
