Sophronitis cernua: new blossoms, different types?
First bloom of a S. (C.) cernua I've had for 2 years. The 10 flowers are orange, about 0.5 in.
This plant has robust heavy green leaves, with a muscular look as seen in the first photo. I have 2 other cernuas, in the second photo. One is like the plant in bloom, but the other one is very different: smaller, greyer leaves, with a green midrib. I haven't been able to bloom either of the plants in the second photo. All are mounted, outside in SoCal, watered/sprayed daily with weak fertilizer.
Can anyone educate me about the different cernuas?
