These Common Sundrops (O. fruticosa youngii) grow in a dense clump, and die down to this mat of rosettes in the fall and winter. Here, they're just beginning to emerge for spring 2000. 4/21/00. Common Sundrops are at about half their full height here. 5/12/00. Sundrops are setting buds. 5/17/00. Sundrop buds are growing. 5/19/00. Sundrops will be blooming soon. 5/21/00. First sundrops blooms. 5/21/00. Here's what the entire clump looks like in early bloom. 5/30/00. Making quite a showing now. 6/7/00. Beginning to look a little bedraggled now. Will definitely divide these this fall, and maybe plant in retainers. 7/12/00. Finished blooming. 10/7/00. Top growth has already died down. You can see the basal rosettes amongst the other plants. Summary: Common sundrops were very pretty, but have gotten too thick. Will thin and restain in pots when front beds are renovated in the spring. Take up and pot some this fall if time allows.
