Hello All!
Here's a few shots of my Roridula gorgonias in flower...
I hope you will all enjoy.
Feel free to reach to your monitor and help pollinate it!
Happy Growing,
Brian.

Great pictures Brian

Very nice perspective, good exposed and a nice layer of sharpness (or whatever the correct English word is ), esp. in the second picture - very clever not to focus on the top of the first flower's sepals

Oh, and a nice flower of course - congrats,

Martin

Hello All!
Here's some updated current shots of one of my multi-crowned Roridula gorgonias in full flower. It most definitely enjoys the slightly cooler Fall temperatures and is being grown outside in full sun at this time. I hope everyone enjoys the pics!

Happy Growing,
Brian.

Brian,

What is the ambient humidity in your conditions? I find that with a number of CPs, the high humidity in the air here kills them.

Hi there, Cindy.
In my experience, Roridula seem to appreciate highland conditions the most. I keep humidity levels around 60% maximum and temps from 50F to 78F. This species detests it's leaves being saturated for any long period of time and unless you have a colony of Pameridea to keep caught insects in check, the carcasses will lend to fungal infections on the leaves and ultimately, the plant!

Happy Growing,
Brian.

Thanks, Brian. It seems that cooler temperature helps.
