Re: December 2016 - genus of the month - Massonia
"Massonias are bulbous plants in the Asparagaceae (formerly Hyacinthaceae) family and as such are not eligible for BCSS shows."
Funny to read. I reckon shows are usually organised when the leaves of a Massonia haven't grow from the underground bulb yet or are already withering away. Well, maybe summer growing M. wittebergensis and M. saniensis are contenders.

Re: December 2016 - genus of the month - Massonia
I have two types of Massonia, the first I grew as Massonia pustulata, then on looking in the main forum, the thread is still going now, I discovered it is Massonia longipes. It is in bud but a few months off flowering, it will be a first for me.
This next one is Massonia jasminiflora, as it says on the label. I have only recently acquired it and it has not flowered yet.
