This is the only Cheirodopsis I get to flower regularly.

Mine has had a good show too. I also find Cheiridopsis speciosa to be a reliable flowerer, with a vivid purple flower, quite differnt to C. umbosa.

Mine looking good too. The other one that flowers very reliably here is C.peculiaris. In bud now.

I’m afraid the orientation of the photo will not be correct, but C. pecularis is putting on a show for me, including a double flower from one plant. I grow these outside year round and they get our full winter rain (about 36” so far), brief lows into the high 20’s F. I never really pay any attention to them, but they don’t seem to mind. From seed…planted out in a bonsai pot.

Excellent! I very rarely get any Cheiridopsus to flower, and I don't get the leaves to turn that colour either. Maybe I just leave them out over winter ...
