Epiphyllum, upon the leaf, referring to the flowers appearing to bloom on the leaves.

曇 花 Epiphyllum oxypetalum是很容易種植的植物。 只要擷取一段插進土壤，它就生根長起來，只要地點陽光大，它就會長很好。 杆插三年有了，終於生成第一個花苞，等這幾天曇花一現，它長在過去父親種曇花，一模一樣的地方，差別是我已經懂得照顧它。

Epiphyllum屬名，這個美麗的字，意思很簡單，葉子上。長在曇花附近一點一點白白的也是夜花，一樣很香的茉莉； 右邊是這季節才會活過來的彩葉芋，少說也是種三年。

Venus will reach perihelion – its closest point to the sun in its orbit – on November 29, 2015. Venus’ orbit is the closest to being circular of all the planets in our solar system. Its distance from the sun only varies by only about 1.5% between perihelion and aphelion (farthest point from the sun). Venus is well known for its 8-year cycles. This planet – which orbits the sun one step inward from Earth – swings to perihelion 13 times every 8 years. So Venus’ 13th return to perihelion will happen some 8 years from now – on November 28, 2023 – with Venus and Spica returning to virtually the same spot in the November 2023 morning sky.

Venus returns to perihelion 13 times in 8 years:
