Yeah, I basically beat mine into submission with a bone, dead dry wnter. But the fact that it seems happy to grow in winter, or in spring, and will grow in summer xcept in extreme heat makes me think it could be a hybrid of socialis and some winter growing *Ledebouria*. OTOH, it's SO distinct that maybe it's an undescribed species...? Oh well.
