It appears to be very healthy. I live in San Jose, Ca and the soil in my yard is basically dry clay. <br />Jose Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068324069967157804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-36675819151824813722016-05-16T12:11:43.396-07:002016-05-16T12:11:43.396-07:00I know!!

According to Sa...'Brandi' is orange, right? According to San Marcos Growers, it's a hybrid between Leucospermum reflexum and Leucospermum lineare. Not that I know what that means in terms of cultivation, LOL.<br /><br />My Grevillea 'Superb' has a few flower buds. Can't wait. It's been much slower to get going than 'Peaches & Cream'.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-30456653319346336112016-05-16T03:30:01.310-07:002016-05-16T03:30:01.310-07:00There is nothing like a great flower to bring on a...There is nothing like a great flower to bring on a photo shoot.

Congratulations ...'Goldie' is very pretty! Congratulations on getting it to bloom stage. I've never been successful with these plants either but nonetheless added another ('Brandi') in late March. So far, the plant looks fine but there's no sign of any flowers yet (not that I really expected any this year). I know exactly what drives the photo extravaganza - I did the same thing with Grevillea 'Peaches & Cream' when I got my first blooms (and that plant still gets more than its fair share of paparazzi action).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-91401367253585875982016-05-15T14:59:22.491-07:002016-05-15T14:59:22.491-07:00I know!

It's on the backyard patio where it gets a bit of protection from a bay tree overhead. I didn't cover it in the winter. Hoover Boo did point that the brown leaf tips might me from the roots getting too warm. I will repot it after it's done blooming and mulch it better.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-33521741239375394842016-05-15T14:49:42.369-07:002016-05-15T14:49:42.369-07:00I don't blame you for the photo frenzy Gerhard...I don't blame you for the photo frenzy Gerhard. It's just torture to go down to the central coast and see those gigantic blooming specimens everywhere- I would be thrilled to have one of my own.
