This will often trigger a flush of bloom in the spring from "resting buds" that formed in the leaf axils the previous year. I'm not familiar with most of the newer species in cultivation, but this was certainly true of Primulina (then Chirita) fimbrisepala, one of the first species other than P. dryadis (then C. sinensis) to be cultivated.DC Tropicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325534376342345900noreply@blogger.com
