Perhaps not technically a Succulent - Winter grower/flowerer Massonia depressa.

Hi Trevor
Veryy nice, I have a couple of Monadeniums & they are very more-ish but not that common it seems.

Just been given a Massonia depressa ( tiny) bulb so any cultivation tips ?.
I have to put a big label in the pot so I don't put a cutting in on the bulblet as I 'm bound to forget that it's a winter grower.
Tina

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

Can't help with tips as I've only had it a few months Tina. Doesn't seem to be fussy though, it's on a top shelf so it get's plenty of winter light and I water it when I remember, which isn't very often at all. Be interested in seeing how yours goes coming out of dormancy... Good Luck !

Excellent pics Trevor! Those Monadenium flowers really are something else!

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!
