By the way both have been moved to Coilostylus. Here are the leaves of falcata.

And here are the leaves of parkinsonia. It is a much older plant hence bigger.

Aptly named - I like the white flowers.

I have Parkinsonia. Have it for 8 years and has never flowered. I had it in NY and now in Florida. I moved it to a basket. Can't get the sucker to flower. Tried it in every possible light and media. Nothing!

The only reason I still have it is it was given to me by an old time grower and judge who I loved and has gone to heaven and getting a kick out of my frustrations..

Any tips, Nick?

I grow mine in the backyard without any protection other than shadecloth. 100F in the summer 28F in the winter. Water once a week in the summer much less in the winter. When it's really hot it gets watered more often of course. It's a low maintenance stone that gets very little care.

I also have a hybrid between falcata and parkinsonium but still has a way to go before first bloom. No surprise, leaves look exactly the same. If I were you I would give it more light and less water.

Thanks Nick. Doing the same as you and have been for the last few years. Its growing in a basket with just some rock. Seems to burn when I up the light. Just seems to struggle yet keeps hanging on. Something just off with this plant.

Compare to Epi parkinsoniana which has just opened up, 3 1/2 month later.
