Massonia 2016

Another great start to the new year, two massonia's in flower here with me. The first is M. Tenella, I got this from Paul, last autumn I think it was. It's a great little plant with a slight scent. The second plant is M. Pustulata, another new plant for me, also has a faint scent. Both also have the little bumps on the leaves which none of my other massonia's have so far. Great additions to my collection.

Very nice John
this Massonia tenella is from the same source originally from Nieuwoudtville but it bloomed a mouth ago outside in a fish box of sand and pumice that was brought inside when the temps went too far below freezing. the leaves seem to lay more flat under bright light. the inside temps are about 60F with a fan on when the lights are one, and about 50F when dark. it bloomed white but faded to pink. i wonder if it is self fertile. i have kept it away from there other massonias so i don get hybrid seeds.
the second picture is from 23 Nov 2015, the flowers look different from yours,

Hi rimmer you are right the flowers are different, I have no doubt that we both have tenella as I trust Paul who I bought it off and I know he wouldn't dream of pulling a fast one as we say over here. I wonder and I'm just guessing on this, you had yours in a fish box and I have mine in a small pot, would that have made a difference? Yours had more space to grow than mine? Yours looks a lot larger plant.

Angela, the plant is lovely - but your photo is really super - that low angle shows the shape beautifully and it looks like a wee sculpture.

Two Massonias up this month, 1 M. saniensis from Paul C.'s seed and 2 M. wittebergensis, likely from him as well. The latter I mistakenly sowed one autumn but managed to shift it back to the correct growing season.

Here's a
Massonia
sp. from Hans, sown August 2011, and flowering for the first time. Alas, the snails have had a munch.
