Drosophyllum in Spring Mar 17, 2017 15:32:24 GMT

We've moved on to a new season so this has to move on too.

Progress in the flowering plant while I was away.

More of the buds have burst. It would be nice to see the flowers fully open, a little more sun please

Another plant in the same tub has sent up an inflorescence.

It looks like the plants in this tub are quite happy with their treatment.

I thought they usually flowered towards the end of spring?

Drosophyllum lusitanicum bears bright-yellow flowers, 4 cm (1.6 in) in diameter, borne in groups of 3–15 between February and May.

It's difficult to see that it had any damage at all.

Meanwhile the original inflorescence from plant one has developed a secondary from the stem. So far all plants are looking very healthy.

It's now standing at 15". Did I mention I like this plant?
