Hi All, The Massonia are all the same age from 2012 seed. They have had two growing seasons so some will get their second leaf next fall. I have found that young plants usually don't start to get good leaf color and texture until their fourth year. They are worth the time investment. Even if you have never tried Massonia, you can't miss with the pustulata form in #3. It's robust for a Massonia and has beautiful purple streaks on the bumpy leaves. Even visitors without plant interests gush over this pustulata and take them home. I sent over 70 pustulata bulbs to the bx so there should be enough for everyone to try. I'll send the SX seed of the same so those members far away will get your chance too. Since Massonia hate to dry out totally, I sent them in slightly damp sand with a bit of fungicide (Aluminum tris). So if they smell funny, that's why. It's the same systemic fungicide that's used on most non-organic fruit these days. enjoy, monica
