Zantedeschia odorata seeds?

I saw Zantedeschia odorata flowering on Glenlyon Farm at Nieuwoudtville in 
late August 2004, but don't recall the fragrance - so perhaps it isn't very 
evident. What was interesting was that it grew only tightly wedged between 
dolerite rocks: Neil McGregor, the owner, informed us that this was because 
otherwise the porcupines would eat the tubers.

I've had a plant for years (grown from Silverhill seed) but it hasn't 
flowered. It is very definitely a winter-grower.
