Here is the bloom 2 or 3 days later. The petals start to open.

One could hope. Alas, a few hours later, the bloom will start to fade definitively, without an evolution of the petals. Once again, the bloom was not up to our expectations.

The blossomings are obviously capricious, which, finally, is not illogical for a monstrous form of Epiphyllum. Monstrous forms often show blooms of many and various forms, I have already noticed it for “x Aporophyllum “Helena” , for “Schlumbergera Enigma” and for "Nopalxochia kimnachii (?)" (links to these three plants on the last page of the series)
