Something to brighten up a dull morning

Post by RayW »

This cascade of little white flowers ( Rhipsalis pilocarpa ) brightened up my morning in a very dull and wet West Lancashire.

I'd love to hear more about the invisible pot it's in! Are you using multiple screens to take photographs?

Mat it is created with 3 sheets of dark grey card. 2 behind the plant as it drapes down and 1 sheet behind the pot simple.
All I had to do was to get them back into my wife's craft room before she came home :wink:

I could have sworn it was an inverted Christmas decoration. Those flowers are like illuminations.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
