Epiphyllum Bloom Catalog

Janice Wakefield has supported SDES in many ways through the years and this catalog is one of her creations.  

The catalog is provided to assist you in selecting plants or cutting you would like to add to your garden. This catalog is not searchable at this time. To assist you in finding a named flower, it is divided into alphabetize sections.

We are always attempting to improve the catalog by adding to it and improving bloom pictures.  If you have a better picture or a picture of a bloom not shown email me.

Web Friendly Past General Meeting Presentations 

Part of our monthly meeting time is devoted to a presentation that the Board deems of interest to our members.
Not all of these presentations are web friendly.
Those that are are available here.


A considerable number of our presentations are designed for audience participation.  These types of presentations are not considered Web Friendly and therefore are not available here. When the presentations are website friendly they will be posted online.
When you click on the presentation the time it requires to load it is dependent on your internet connection not this website's speed.  Once it is down loaded it will play independent of your download speed. 
  • Old & Forgotten or New & Exciting Epiphyllums
  • Women Epiphyllum Hybridizers Part 1 San Diego and Australia
  • Women Epiphyllum Hybridizers Part 2 Los Angels and beyond
