Hi, I see wonderful new flowers coming in one of the threads and thought I would share our last year’s experience from bud to seedlings, germinated from 5 mother plants we have had around 10 years - and for the first time last year, we had decent pollination - I can always send high resolution pictures if anyone is interested. The seedlings are easy to germinate on a window sill (south side in Southern hemisphere), prefer to sit directly on the sand for sprouting. We note we let them dry out in their heads before harvesting the seed. I note for some fun, that in South Africa, one of the common translated names is “horse scare” (referring to the rolling dried seed heads) as the wind pushes them along.
