House on Sixth Avenue

This is the parent epiphyllum of the one on our back porch.

It belongs to Ruth and Bill.  

epiphyllum |ˌepəˈfiləm|noun ( pl. epiphyllums )a cactus with flattened stems and large, fragrant red or yellow flowers.[Genus Epiphyllum, family Cactaceae: several species, in particular the night-flowering cactus (E. hookeri).]ORIGIN modern Latin, from epi-‘upon’ +Greek phullon ‘leaf.’

Last night four new blossoms opened on our porch.

Tonight... at least three more.

While over at the entrance to San Diego Zoo

my favorite rainbow eucalyptus 

stands sentinel.
