With the various re-classifications over the past few years I'm not sure now whether this is M. pustulata (or longipes?).

[Chris Johnson]

Whatever it is, it's very nice.

Steve,
Your plant would be called M. longipes nowadays if you accept the various recent revisions.

Thanks for the confirmation, Paul. I've been reading the paper you mentioned a couple of years ago on the forum, and from the descriptions there thought it was probably longipes.

Massonia roggeveldensis (M. sp. Roggeveld) seedlings, from "maroon mottled leaf x op." and "pinkish flower x op.". Both were sown in 2014 and put their first flowers this season.

Love the pink flowering one...Do the spots on the "mottled leaf" form only appear on flowering size bulbs or is that the only seedling that came true to form?

Well grown. I like the mottled leaf as well.

That is the only seedling, Wim.

Massonia sp Gourtz. 2 years from seed start. Rather large floppy bright green leaves and smallish white flower. Any ideas on species?
Last photo next to 4 year old M echinaca.
