These only get rainfall, and we haven't had much at all in the last two and a half months. I'm thinking that they will perk up and start growing again once the rainy season starts next month (or hopefully sooner!)

I thought I would post some updated photos now that the rainy season is here again. Just as I hoped, when the rains started they really recovered nicely. These are the same plants as above which are growing on a steep hill. Some were planted in full sun and the leaves on these plants grow upright. The others were planted along a tree line and get morning sun only. The ones grown in more shade have a more relaxed look.
