The evening fragrant Epi's are among my favorites.
My ciliare is coming into bloom now with 6 spikes.
Walk onto the porch at night and that's all you can smell. It's awesome!

this is one of my favorties but be warned. it can self pollinate and often does so before the flowers even fully form....its annoying to get a spike of only pods but its still a fun plants

My nocturum had an immaculate selfing in the basement growhouse in the absence of any apparent pollinators. The fragrance is unreal. Great species

big fan of Odoms
i think the mechanism is movement, from wind i assume, but i moved it into my lath house and kind of wedged it against the wall so it could not swing as much in the breeze and the selfing is way down.
Claw- do you have a fan pointed at it? if so, maybe try a more indirect breeze and maybe the selfing will drop.
purely anecdotal and worth what you pay for the advice

Hi DC, you nailed it, it was right near my fan. This advice came in the nick of time. Was able to move it out of the path of the wind just before it's new bud opened |
