Epiphyllum
Epiphyllums are beautiful flowering cacti that grow on trees in tropical regions. Their stunning flowers bloom at night and come in various colors like pink, white, and red.
生息地: Rainforest
The Epiphyllum has striking, flattened, leaf-like stems that are actually modified branches, often trailing or climbing. Its spectacular, waxy flowers come in vibrant shades of pink, red, orange, yellow, and white, making them look like orchids rather than cacti.
