Only small plants at this time in the year.

  1. I was wondering if these would survive winter, if there's less insects? Posted 3 years ago
    1. They grow from a tuber. This one is the first I found this year. Flowering times are supposedly all year but primarily from May to November. I have never found this species in that area over the very hot month of January and February. I think during winter they do get still a lot of insects as we have very often days even in mid winter where the temperatures can go in the 20 Celsius range. Winter here is very short .
