Subject taken from tonight's Mesemb Study Group, Manchester BCSS and the San Francisco Succulent & Cactus Society Zoom talk which featured Russell Wagner's Northern California mesemb greenhouse.
Exact original habitat location ideally should be Namaqualand but given the fact that I will be the judge then any mesemb will do (and I'm not sure I will spot a plant that is NAS)

Re: January 2021 Namaqualand in my Greenhouse
The two Conophytum species should follow the rules for Namaqualand, I think. The Muiria is just a bonus.
Conophytum pageae
It flowers at night, so the flower is still closed:
Conophytum burgeri
During summer dormancy, but close to wake up for autumn:
Fully active in autumn, flowering early October:
Muiria hortenseae
Muiria hortenseae
Two different clones compared to the previous Muiria in different stages of development
One plant just produced an offset:
Now both plants have produced an offset, and just came out of their summer dormancy:
Further in the growing season, fully active:
Conophytum pageae

Those bulbine ones are great Giacomo I’ve never seen those before. Are they difficult to grow?
