Urginea message

Leo, my Urginea’s success just shows that sometimes when you don’t know what you’re doing, the plant manages to survive anyway! I think the reason it didn’t bloom this spring was that we had one of our typical central Texas winters with warmish winter days mixed with a few days of temps of 25-30F. Then the garage was subjected to about 3 days and continuous nights of temps in the very low 20Fs. I do not even know if these plants typically survive temps below 20F. Wouldn’t it be a surprise if it managed to flower this fall!?

I was mistaken. I have two Urginea flowering this year. I will do my best to set seed, though previous years have shown me the bees are far better at this than am I. Fortunately I have wild colonies on my property.
I will see what I can do about photos.
Cynthia, I am surprised at what you write. Everything I have read says it is a summer-dormant winter grower, with hysteranthous fall blooming.
