Massonia pustulata

Two pustulate burgundy-toned leaves appear in autumn from a buried bulb, soon followed by flowers with yellow anthers. Leaves die down in spring. Bright light for good leaves, OK outdoors in mild areas, but keep dryish in summer.

3.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK in warm, well-drained position in mild areas.

Initially the new leaf has a burgundy tone.

Anthers are bright yellow.

Comparison pic: M.pustulata on left, M.echinata on the right, which develops earlier.

Full grown leaves here have lost the burgundy colouration.
