Tsuh Yang,
It seems that Griffinia species are self incompatable, so more than one clone is needed.  I have had a Griffinia (no species name on it) from Gardino's nursery in Florida for some time (non spotted leaves), it never has set seed.  I acquired another species of Griffinia (spotted leaves) in a trade, and was able to cross it with a plant of my original species, now I see good seed pods on both.  So it would be best to acquire other clones of your Griffinia, or do interspecific crosses.

my Hipp. striatum reticulatum is in bloom for the first time. i didn't think 
hey'd be so easy to grow and bloom.  two bulbs, each with a stalk with 2 
lowers each.  they are grown under rather low light (2 40-watts tubes).  how do 
 get them to set seed?
my Griffinia spiritensis blooms every year but i have not had any seed.  if 
here's any trick to it, please let me know.
