Hello Mick,
thanks for the link. I have checked it before cause of hardy orchids and Massonia, have not "seen" the Haemanthus. Thanks.
@ Hans
i got my first Massonia as a "like it? get it?" from the bot. Garten of the Ruhruni in Bochum. Lets see, if I find the old contact, maybe another "swap" is possible. Lets see.
This Massonia I got in 2000 (main interest at that time was on Dischidia) . Actually slowly but constantly I got some more. Now I am looking for Massonia habitus like Heamanthus.

Hello Heinz,
Not very exciting I know, but I have some seed of Massonia depressa (I think) which I wild-collected last year in September from Nieuwoudtville, Northern Cape. Even though these seeds are quite fresh they took nearly three months to germinate - so don't give up too soon! Please contact me with your postal address: roth@ukzn.ac.za
Regards

Dear Maggi and all,
It's great to be here swapping seeds with you all. As you may have guessed by my address I am a South African who's mad about growing plants of all descriptions, especially bulbs, from seed. Unfortunately, I am green with envy when I see the bulbs you can grow so well in far northern climates, my climate is too warm and humid for much of the year to grow many of the things you do (Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal). However, it's amazing what we can grow here with a little bit of trialling and experimentation.
...and habitat photographs - I have many to share with you!
I look forward to many months of chatter and seed exchanging - thanks a lot
Best regards
Rogan.

As a bulbophile I would like to see bulbs. I was very bad in Kruger and left the car to take photos of bulbs. I must look them up. Unfortunately they are slides

A really good source of South African seed is Gordon Summerfield. His latest catalogue is just out and includes a few Massonias and Daubenyas - both of which are some of my personal favorites too! I find germination is usually very good from his seed, and it also has provenance information. You can request a catalogue by emailing him: summerfields@xsinet.co.za
I think I may do the next Wisley Log about Massonias & Daubenyas so check it out - should be ready Thursday 8 Nov
