First flower from one of the two small plants I got a year ago, they don't seem to be in a hurry to grow much, unlike their terrestrial relatives, but they seem healthy enough

Not to jump on Mr. Sabucci's thread. He may not be familiar with the USDA zones and if his swamp rose is the same as our swamp rose ( Rosa palustris ), it's native from Nova Scotia to Florida. https://www.wildflower.org/plants/re...?id_plant=ropa

Thanks. i figured it was, but a decade or so ago a plantsman friend of mine in the Miami area had a plant he called 'water rose' and later switched to 'water cactus' He had a nursery in Homestead, FL and I have no idea how many plants went out under the water rose name. He was an expert and when he collected it in a seasonally flooded area of the Amazon....I think in Ecuador....growing alongside Echinodorus, he recognized it as a Pereksia sp and called it 'rose' because of the flower shape. He realized subsequently that the more salient feature was that it was a cactus growing in a flood plain and updated the name. I ran it by Carlos Magdelena of Kew Gardens and he identified it as P. bleo. A primitive cactus of wetland forest that still retained leaves ( and some nasty spines <g > ) and hadn't evolved to the arid conditions that we associate with leafless cacti today.
Probably too much info, but can you ever have too little? < g > Mine are getting ready to bloom again and I hope to make seed.
