Hi Ashley, In the absence of snow, leaf orientation is usually a result of prevailing cultural conditions, especially light intensity, or age of the leaves. In the previous picture, numerous floral leaflets can be seen on the immature inflorescence which is typical of S. peruviana at the visible bud stage. This is not the case for Triteleia which also has significantly fewer, longer basal leaves. For the northern hemisphere, the timing in the picture is consistent with the long flowering period possible for S. peruviana which is easy to manipulate. I currently have plants outside from full flower to not yet in visible bud.
