The PBS Wiki describes two forms for this species: summer growing and winter
growing. 

 

Does anyone on the List cultivate the summer growing form?  And, if so,
would you please comment on your experience with it?  Do you have any photos
you can post of it in bloom? 

 

"The summer growing form comes from the Andes ~10,000ft (~3000m). The growth
cycle for this form starts in late winter/early spring when rain occurs and
the dry dormancy period starts in the latter half of summer." 

 

"The winter growing form comes from the coast with winter rainfall but is
bone-dry during summer. The dry summer dormancy period lasts 8-12 weeks."

 

Lastly, there is a different species from Bolivia that is also a summer
grower (winter dormant): Paramongaia suberba.  Does anyone on the List grow
this species and if so, would you please comment on your experiences with
it.

 

Thanks!

Definitely a location for summer growers!
