Happy Holidays to everyone.?
I have Massonia longipes which develops a flower bud every year however the bud just sits there. Does anyone have any idea why it is not flowering? I'm puzzled. Attached is a photo.
Thank you.

Erika
I have the same issue although mine opens just a bit.
They never seem to fully open.

I keep my greenhouse between 45-50 F.? Add some light during daytime hours with some LED's.
Image attached.

A new member listed crocus as her favourite bulbs.

There are always discussions about crocus on the Scottish Rock Garden Club forum, and there is a compilation of photos of many species here:

The Crocus Group is a rather casual group that has a seed exchange and posts newsletters on the Scottish forum. It doesn?t require a yearly fee, but asks for 5 euros when their funds run out. I have had to send money only twice in the 25 years I?ve belonged.

The 2020 newsletter is here: http://files.srgc.net/CGBulletinarchive/… <http://files.srgc.net/CGBulletinarchive/…>

Dear Erika,

I grow many Massonias in San Diego, California. Most are in blossom now.
I'm wondering if it's only temperature related since your plant looks
wonderful. Maybe a heat pad such as those used to start seeds could be an
answer. Just a thought.
