Trisha Cain commented on Debra Stephens's photo
Epiphiliam
"Easy to lose the names, isn't it? My profile pic is one with orange flowers. No name--I traded it for some smaller ones and nursed it back to health. There are some good sources online to lead you in the direction of hybrid names--Pentico…"

Orchid Cactus
"Lovely. Do you know the hybrid name for this epiphyllum? This guy is big! How many years have you had it?"
Trisha Cain commented on Loy Sammons's video
Hungry Hummers
"What a great video. I've never seen so many hummingbirds in one spot. I get them frequently in my yard (CA central coast), but always only one at a time. Two or more immediately becomes a war over territory. I don't have a feeder, just…"

"Hello, Debra. I'm new here and looking for other epiphyllum lovers. It looks like you have at least two--this one and in your profile pic. We seem to be in the same zone (9), but I see you're in So. California. I'm up here on the…"

"Rebutia are great. When they bloom here it is amazing. They clump rapidly an I have had as many as 20 blooms in a coffee cup planter."
Contributing GardenerFreddy J. Hill left a comment for Trisha Cain
"Hey Trisha. I have a few epiphytes. I collect a lot of different succulents; right now I'm working with caudiciforms. Trying to create some slow sculpture. Like the euphorbia decaryi and others. I have to keep most of them in greenhouse over…"
Trisha Cain left a comment for Freddy J. Hill"Hi, Freddy. I've posted a few of my pics--mostly epiphyllums, because they are my passion. I have maybe 50+ different hybrids. Next to epis, I like peanut cacti and rebutia the best. I've only just begun growing ferns and perennials and…"
Trisha Cain commented on Patsy Axberg's photo
"Gorgeous epiphyllum! So healthy and balanced and, of course, knockout blooms. I've never seen a whole plant of Pegasus. It's quite attractive. Thanks for sharing. Trisha
p.s. to Evelyn: Yes, it is a cactus--a jungle cactus (hybrid), as…"
Trisha Cain replied to Dale La Forest's discussion Nopalxochia phyllanthiodes in the group Cactus & Succulents"Thanks, Dale. I had seen your closeup in the first post. I tried to find a pic here, but no luck (too lazy to search my photo bank). Our plants look the same in closeup bud as well. I love mine, no matter whether it's a Diso or an Epi. All the…"
Trisha Cain left a comment for Kurt K. Bassett"Wow. What a gorgeous paradise you've created. If I had a yard like that, I don't think I'd go in the house much at all. Absolutely breathtaking. I've just joined this forum and site, so I was looking for members with epiphyllums.…"
Trisha Cain replied to Dale La Forest's discussion Nopalxochia phyllanthiodes in the group Cactus & Succulents"Greetings. I just joined Gardeners Index and this group yesterday. I need to get my bearings on the gardeners and their plants. You have given me a category to research further--nopalxochia/disocactus. I own a plant that looks like yours (see pic);…"
Terri Penman left a comment for Trisha Cain"I have learned to enjoy succulents, they were not my favorite, but now I appreciate how they add interest to the garden, water tolerant, and do not require a lot of attention."

Contributing GardenerFreddy J. Hill said… - Hey Trisha. I have a few epiphytes. I collect a lot of different succulents; right now I'm working with caudiciforms. Trying to create some slow sculpture. Like the euphorbia decaryi and others. I have to keep most of them in greenhouse over winter. I keep a few prize specimens in the house and the others go dormant, trying to keep them over 45deg. Lose a few each year, but heating is expensive. Love collecting, though.

Contributing GardenerDonna H 5-6/CT commented on Geoffrey Ives's blog post The Basil Seedlings Send Their Regards: My Life With Slugs
"My veggie garden is easy...its mulched in straw and newspaper. No weeds, just hordes of slugs. I had a wet spring last year...but no where near this amount of infestation or destruction. The bucket-o-death was enough for it last year. This year,…"
