Hans - I agree with your diagnosis of the last one as jasminiflora - and a nice plant too!

Curiously it looks exactly like the results of my crossing a pustulate-leaved jasminiflora with 'Burdach 11182'!

Hi Hans

Sorry for my ignorance Hans but not sure what you meant by GK. Ok everyone stop laughing you all probably know what Hans means  ::) ;D

Was going to out today to take a couple of pictures of my massonia flowering today but the paths are like a skating ring and I have a sore back so that would be when I probably would fall on my bum  :o Oh to be twenty again  ;)

Here Massonia makes little White " Ornithogalum" like bulbs
Haemanthus looks more like scales
one left one right one left and so on
overlapping each other
If you want I make a picture

What do you mean by "and so on"

 Hans, I meant that we never see what the plants look like underground.... I don't grow them so I wonder how 'bulb-like' they are ?  ???

 Roland, yes, a picture would be good!#
 By the "and so on"  I was trying to think of other plants of this type that might have similar "bulb" structures

Maggi - I dont understand 100 % what you mean ...

In each pot are 5 bulbs ...thats to much ( it is not possibly to see the pot more or less )
I use simply black pots ( 9 x 9 )

Maybe you write me better in german a PM ....so I can give you a better answer !

I know what a narcissus bulb looks like; and a galanthus bulb, and a hippeastrum but I don't know what the massonia looks like .... I was asking what the bulbs look like for these plants.  I never saw them before!
That's too hard for me to manage in German!!  ;D ;D ;D

Are they corms, tubers, rhizomes.....
