A real gem - I see  Rogan Roth has asked  on PBS site  about this  species - no name  as  yet?

Thank you for the information, Maggi :)
I only know this spotted androcymbium was raised from seeds at a cactus nursery in JP via Silverhill Seeds. Unfortunately the nursery didn't have its original seed number and collected site info. It seems both Mr. Roth's and mine are from same stock of seeds. Looking forward to updating the PBS info.

Super plant - where were your seeds from? I tried this but only 1 or two seeds came up weakly and the plants didn't' pull through the first dormancy.

One of my Twitter followers reported “Seed Chipping” increases germinating rate of Laperousia orogena. I'll try this treatment next time.

Hoping Google Translate works well ::)

Massonia echinata from Oorlogskloof, Northern Cape, SA. Sown autumn 2016, first flowers.

This is the true "echinata" species as published and clarified in 2015 by M.Martinez-Azorin, and adopted by Manning in his 2018 paper.

Hope those pictures will clarify the current misnaming of many Massonia sold under this name in the trade. This true echinata is very rare and hardly being grown.

 This moraea vegeta is such a little charmer. Very well behaved. I have another in the green house that produces huge leaves
