16 years ago I took a leaf cutting from a plant and for the first time it flowered! The leaves grow up to a foot long are leathery and have wavy edges. The flower looks like no other I have seen. It is an elongated shape and the many, many "petals" look like silk feathers and are creamy white with a few strands of pink/salmon. The flower grows directly out of the tip or side of the leaf suspended from what seems like an umbilical cord. Any ideas what this might be???
Dear Ron, thank you for the identification of my plant. After looking up photos of the flowers I find they are different from mine which is elongated and never opens up but deflates and collapses after 2 days. The flowers are described as having a lovely aroma and mine have none. Clearly it is the same plant and maybe needs stronger light or fertilizer which I have not been using. I am thrilled to know more about it and thank you for your help. Adrienne
I have looked at them at all times of day and they do not open but are a lovely downward facing cylindrical form. Maybe hey need more light and some fertilization. I will look at them right before I go to bed. It is also called night blooming cereus is it not?
