R. campos portoana and R. clavata

R. campos portoana (top left) and R. clavata (bottom right) give you a comparison look at the difference between the two plants. R. micrantha is under the thermometer and R. pentaptera is below it and to the left of clavata.

Francisco Carrera, from Brzail, has registered a rhipsalis blog but nothing was posted as of 3/30/08. I located him on Buzznet and if I found the right person, he is an environmental lawyer, professor of environmental law, and a cactus and succulent collector. He has posted 11 Rhipsalis photos but apparently one must sign in to the Buzznet site to see large images. http://francisco-rhipsalis.buzznet.com/user/photos/
