1-Hybrids 'Kiwi'.
Some hybrids of this series of Wressey Cocke's 50th crossbreeding were used to create other hybrid Epiphyllum with double flowers.
Thus was born shortly after 2000, the series of hybrids 'Kiwi' obtained by Yvonne and Andrew Brunton (New Zealand) among which some having representatives of Wressey Cocke's 50th crossbreeding as parents and having double or semi-double flowers. I will not speak more in detail of this series because I know very little about it and I do not have any representative in cultivation.
