EPIPHYLLUM x 'CHAMELEON'

 

N.B. : This hybrid, obtained by Rudolf Hessing, a German hybridizer, has curious and interesting properties. First of all, it also blooms in winter (the cold and dark season in the Paris region where my collection is located) since I photographed these blooms on January 5th, 2014. It blooms again in March and April.
 
Moreover,  as we can see easily on the above photograph representing two blooms which opened at a few days of interval, the blooms change colors starting after their blossoming; they start by being pink, then they become red orange  after a few days.
 
I speak more in detail of this Epiphyllum in my article: “Epiphyllum which bloom even in winter” (link at the bottom of the 2014 Epiphyllum gallery).
