Echeandia texensis 'Loma del Potrero Cercado' |
 |
Fall-blooming perennial native to the Rio Grande valley in southwestern Texas. Winter-dormant, the foliage returns in spring and stays as a green grassy rosette until autumn, when slender flowering stems shoot up lined with yellow blooms with recurved petals. Except that one of our second-year plants decided to bloom in early May. We'll see if it unconfuses itself by season's end.

- Seed from NARGS '17/'18 exchange. Baggy 70F (8%G, 13-17d) - 70F with light (32%G, 18-32d)
Unclear if it was the light or simply the progression of time that resulted in the second flush of germination. In any case, patience is warranted.
