Massonia pustulata

Dear Kipp,
Do you know the wild origin (locality) of your purple-mottled Massonia
pustulata? I collected Massonia pustulata about thirty years ago on the
Arniston Flats (342CA) near Bredasdorp, on the Potberg Estates (3420BD)
and in the Witwaterspoort through the Witteberge (3320AD Montagu) S of
Laingsburg. Recently I saw somewhat different plants from Loeriesfontein
cultivated by a friend in Dresden (who contributed to the Wiki) and I
would like to learn about cultivated plants, of which the wild locality
is known.
Cheers
Dietrich

Greetings,
My small, purple-mottled M. pustulata are self fertile (and very easy to grow from seed!). Did I mention they are frost-hardy too? Wonderful plants.

I had my Massonia pustulata bloom about 2 months ago and it looks like it has set seed pods. Since this was the only plant in bloom at the time, do these self-pollinate such that these would be viable seed?
