Some Polyxena, yes I know they're supposed to be Lachenalia now but not on my labels they aren't!

Polyxena longituba, grown from seed from SRGC 07/2424 sown December 2008. Taking into account that I must have given away a dozen potfulls over the years a really good 'doer'.

A Massonia roggeveldensis seedling :)

I got some seeds of "Massonia sp. Roggeveld" in 2014 and the seedlings started to bloom last season. Then, I transplanted them individually this summer and am now looking forward to their flowers.

Hi Tatsuo
How is Massonia roggeveldensis different from M. longipes?

Below seedlings of Massonia longipes collected by McMaster in Arniston. Seed started in Jan 2016.

They look an awful lot like Polyxena longituba? See mine in reply 196.
