Epiphyllum 'Dobson's Yellow' which is scented and four inches across. It's buds are bright pink, which had me worried to start with.

They are lovely healthy looking Epiphyllums! I have a couple that are quite tatty but still flower well. Do you have any cultivation tips? I think I should make an effort to revive my plants, maybe start again from cuttings.
