>>>Why bother with leaf cuttings? It flowers in third season from seed! Hi John, Don't ask me why but E. vandermewei is shy to set seed here, even with help. Just one pod ripening per scape. I've two distinct forms of this species and I'm hoping than when both flower at the same time I'll be able to cross them and have better success next time.
