Epicactus (Epiphyllum)

Epiphyllums are all hybrids of 'epiphytic cacti species' hence the common name of Epicactus. These epiphytic cacti were originally found in the tropical to sub tropical areas of Central and South America. The Epicactus we see today are generally highly bred and produce fantastic flowers.
