I have a query for Gordon and I wonder if Lauw will pass it on.

This statement implies that Daubenya and Massonia are grown under
cover to prevent dew and rainfall on the leaves. This being the
case do they remain totally dry for the summer months ? If not how
often are they watered during dormancy ? What about watering management
for first and second year seedlings during summer ? Do they
tolerate the same management as mature bulbs ?

Having just watched the leaves on a mature Massonia echinata
disappear from crown rot ,( we had what amounts to half our years
average annual rainfall during August and September ) , the under cover
management appeals to me , as I have quite a range of first and
second year seedlings of both genera.
