Succulents and Bulbs

A friend here in New Jersey, Dr. Gerald Barad, is doyen in the cactus
and succulent world. He has a huge greenhouse stuffed full of those
plants. And he also has Massonia pustulata. I have no idea where the
first one came from but his original plant made seeds. He sowed the
seeds, which grew, and flowered, and made more seeds. I was visiting
last week. The massonia flowers are fading / going over. There's a tray
of new young plants ready to prick out, and soon enough I imagine there
will be another seed pot. And so on, ad infinitum.

Judy in New Jersey where we might, possibly, reach the freezing point
today. That would be delightful as A) it is mizzling / drizzling out and
the driveway is glazed with ice, and B) overnight low temperatures in
the single digits, even down to -1 degree Fahrenheit (that's minus 1) is
bitterly cold
