Description

A close-up of a pink flower showcases its delicate petals and prominent yellow stamens. A green leaf looms in the background, partly obscuring the bright backdrop.

Epiphyllum Doris Pittman, Doris W. Pittman is the correct registered name. The 'W' seems to have been dropped in many listings and labels. Many people don't realize that each named hybrid is propagated from the initial plant through leaf cuttings because in the seed pod of the parent cross, each seed produces a plant with its own floral characteristics, such as size, shape, and color. No identical twins here. So if the breeder sends leaf cuttings off to many merchants to distribute, it's easy to have the 'W' get lost among some of them along the way. Mine was sold as Doris W. Pittmann but had Doris Pittmann on the label and I've seen it as Doris Pittmann at many sellers.
