Roland, the red depressa is very impressive! I hope it arrives well! Maybe you will have some seeds to swap? ;D

Some of my Massonias are coming into flower now. And I know, it is no Massonia, but it is so nice! Daubenya zeyheri
with best greetings from Austria

The Daubenya zeyheri is magic
of course I love to swap with this one
but first it has to arrive without paying 452€

see:  http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6218.0   :o

but maybe I also get some seeds
and we can swap with some seeds from your Daubenya zeyheri

what is the minimum temperature from the Daubenya zeyheri

Frazer aren't we lucky. I have the same Massonia from Darren.
I never thought that I would have a flowering Massonia in my greenhouse ;D ;D  But thanks to Darren I have Massonia sp. in flower.
I just love it, I must have looked at in ten times or more.
I have some more Massonia that will open soon. 8)

Angie :)


Great pictures - it's a super plant. I'm awaiting others to open shortly. It looks like the start of a collection.

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

I grow Daubenya together with Massonia, just a few degrees above 0°C during cold nights. I hope you will finally get your depressa without paying so much!
Here another view of the Daubenya...

Brian,

They're like Lachenalias in that their seed lasts dry for ages, and I find they germinate easily for me.  I've sent seed of M. jasminiflora to people that was certainly more than 18 months old and I know that has germinated freely for others too.  All good. 8)

Easy from seed . I do hope so. Don't tell anyone but I really like this little Massonia so much I was thinking of moving it into my house once it dies back just that l can watch that the bulb dosen't rot or shrivel away.
I would hate to lose it. Other people would think I am mad but My forum friends hopefully won't.  ::)
