I have 100
but I don't like to cut one

better I seed them and wait if they come or not
I just hoped somebody had seen the seeds

sure once seen
you never forget this one

Good Idea but they sell exact the same varieties as I bought
Probably the same supplier

I think that there are a very limited number of species,
several virtual herbariums list them but I could find no pictures of the seeds

I had the same problem

the "seeds" look the same family
but it doesn't solve the problem
Went the second link wrong
it's the same as the first

Roland:

This may help, description of Dilatris seeds.

From Manning and Goldblatt Cape Bulbs

"The seeds are free to be shaken out of the capsule and dispersed by the wind"

Your image looks like just the capsule

Sure they can't go by the wind
Much to heavy
I will see
I send the lady an email with the question
and let you know the answer

Thanks all

There are some problems in my climate with the Lachenalias, but I'm not so sure casual garden customers would recognize them.  Being winter growing, then suffer at higher latitudes from lack of winter sunshine.  This makes them leggy, flopping over the bench in a tangle.  I suppose they are an acquired taste.

and they will survive,  but look miserable, in temperatures between -10C (dryish so they cant grow anyway) and +5 C.  :( >:( :(

Another Haemanthus species blooming : H. pauculifolius, looks like a small H. albiflos.
