[Aroid-l] An off topic question!

From: hluther at selby.org (Harry Luther) on 2008.04.30 at 23:53:46(17502) Dear Steve, Cacti are not my thing but Ive seen plenty of Epiphyllum spp and Rhipsalis spp growing in wet lowland rainforest in Bocas del Toro, Panama, Los Rios , Ecuador and in dry cool cloud forest in El Oro , Ecuador. Yes, some are rainforest epiphytes.
