That's quite a show, and not just from the known early forms. Mine are many weeks away (except for C. frutescens, etc.), but then I haven't exactly been generous with the water yet. Might be time to leave the top off the cold frame and let some rain in! Maybe after the mini-heatwave forecast this week, although probably still like winter compared to Marseille.

Hi Iann,
I started to water when the old leaves were completely dry, depending on the species, in late July or early August.
The summer was very hot here, sometimes 35°C ...
The conos were thirsty ... me too ...
