Re: minutoaurea

---

minutoaurea has survived and increased for me for a number of years but has not yet bloomed. It's otherwise apparently indestructible in dry, light deciduous shade, surviving extreme weeds, summer temperatures to 100°F and severe drought (with only light supplemental watering a month or two in). I've had to move my other Chinenses species around to figure out where they're willing to flower as well. They seem to like more sun than I was assuming "woodland" plants would want. I see that Flora of China lists the habitat of minutoaurea as "Forest margins, grassy hillsides", which would explain it.
