I may be wrong here but seem to remember that Anisotome latifolia requires separate male and female plants for seed. The ones at Dunedin Bot Gardens always flowered but never had seed because they were all one sex. This plant Tim comes from the sub-Antarctic Islands as does Bulbinella rossii.

Many plants are self sterile! Unfortunately I have more than one species that never set seed although I have several specimens - they are all one clone seemingly.

And Bulbinella is on my wish list together with several others ;)
