Massonia pollination

. No signs of wild

gerbils nibbling the flowers. What about the rest of you on the list?

I have pollinated solitary M. depressa simply by emulating the snout of a gerbil with my fingertips.

One year M. depressa was pollinated by mice in the greenhouse as evidenced by the profusion of droppings.

Several flats of M. pustulata are in bloom at this time but M. depressa is only in bud.
