Hans, you very kindly shared some Massonia citrina with me and these too are flowering for the first time. For some reason (just genetic variation I guess) two of the bulbs have grown much quicker than the others and have made decent sized bulbs already (pictures below). The other seedlings are all about the same size as the ones in your photos.

I have also noticed some subtle variation in the flower colour. The first two pictures below (of the same plant) show one which has lovely bright, clear yellow flowers. Another has flowers which have a more green-yellow colour (third picture below).

This species is a wonderful addition to the range of Massonias, adding some welcome colour that all the other species lack.
