Dear Paul & Rob, Thanks for your interesting remarks about how you grow these plants. Glad you reminded us Paul about the seed production. I have found if I deadhead Calydorea that it will bloom for months every day or two (July-Oct last year). Gelasine and Hesperoxiphion are two others that bloom a long time if you nip off the flower heads after they have shriveled. Unfortunately while I was in South Africa I was gone to do that and came back to very fat pods and no more blooms. But I see blooming stalks on two of the Hesperoxiphions who hadn't bloomed yet so hope to keep those going for awhile. To see most of these however you need to be working at home, retired, or come home for lunch as most of them open after many would have gone to work and are gone before the day is over. By all means Paul if you finally get tired of seeing all those wonderful flowers do let a few set seed for the rest of us. Mary Sue
