14 seeds from the eight fruits, Hans?
Was it very difficult to get the seeds clean?

Hi Paul,

great pictures - I saw this plants as I have been in Australia last year but at this time they only had leafes.
You should make a big, big packet with Proiphys for all of us *smile*
And please add some Crinum pedunculatum...

Thanks Maggi, for finding the pictures.

Hi Hans,
I cross my fingers!

Hi Alberto,

love the pictures. Thanks for telling how to treat them. Do you know how big the bulbs can grow?

The fascinating thing about these is that those aren't actually seeds.... if you look closely at them they are all small bulbs, formed within the fruit, complete with tip and basal plate etc.  On some I have had in the past (I've never flowered it myself, but have been given seed) you could see the tiny remains of the actual "seed" which was still attached to the developed bulb.  I've always wondered how quarantine would deal with something like this, as there technically never is a seed that could be sent, because by the time it is ripe the fruit actually already contains a miniature bulb.  Very different.

Aren't plants just fascinating!!??  :o ;D

Nerines do this too. If you put a head of developing seeds into a brown paper bag and forget about them for two or three weeks then have a look, you have a bag of tiny bulbs.

Hans, I crossed the pollen from two different bulbs. Last year I didn't pollinated them but I had no one seed! This year I hope to have seeds!
