Storage and Forcing Temperatures Affect Inflorescence Initiation, Flowering and Floret Blast of Lachenalia Aloides 'Pearsonii'

Growing Habits, Floral Development, and Temperature Requirements for Flowering in Lachenalia unicolor (Liliaceae)

“…The differences in flowering time are attributable to the different temperature requirements for flower bud development and flowering among these species. Effects of temperature on flowering in Lachenalia species have been reported in L. aloides 'Pearsonii' (Roh, 2005;Roh et al, 1995Roh et al, , 1998, L. aloides var. quadricolor (Kodaira and Fukai, 2004), L. rubida (Kodaira and Fukai, 2005), and L. 'Ronina' (Du Toit et al, 2001a, 2003; however, to date, no information related to the growth and flowering habits of L. unicolor has been available.…”
