Jim, Boophone are slightly self-compatible in my experience. This year, for instance, I've gotten about ~10 seeds from the only Boophone disticha that bloomed for me. This bloom included one individual flower stem that branched into 3 stems where the flower would normally be with each of those stems having a flower at the end (and one of them set a single seed). -|< > To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > From: fosterjp@cox.net > Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:41:52 -0700 > Subject: [pbs] Boophone seed > > My flower dehisced this morning from my large bulb and I am wondering if > there is any seed.
