This epiphyte cacuts doesn´t even look like a real plant. I like it. Rio de Janeiro, mid summer.

When I was searching out information on this plant I read that blooms were rare. Therefore, I was pleased when mine produced a flower bud. Here's a picture of it; when it blooms, I'll post that picture also.

Here's that same flower bud, a week or so later. It's really beginning to show some color now.

My Rick Rack seems to enjoy the cool days of winter. It rewards me with Spring blooms.

The flowers are big (6"- 8" across) and smell wonderful. They bloom after dusk.

This is the night time flower of my 15 year old Rik Rak cactus. It blooms very infrequently, but when is does it is a delight!

This is the bloom of my Rik Rak prior to opening. Notice the "rik rak" or "zig zag" of the plant itself.

The first time I got this cactus to bloom for me was by forgetting to water it from October 31 till May15 of the next year.
