| Home Page | Cheiridopsis is a large genus of around 100 species from southern Africa. Most of the species have a characteristic leaf pattern, in which leaves are coming in group two or three pairs, with the shorter drier outside pair framing the larger younger inner pair. The name Cheiridopsis comes from the Greek for "looking like a hand". Most species of Cheiridopsis will survive light frost. The flowers are generally yellow and come from early winter to late spring depending on the species. They rest in summer. During that time they look kind of dry, or dying. Start watering when you see the new leaves peeking out.
