Managing oxalis obtusa seed pods? (Rick Buell)

As much as I would love to see some O. obtusa seeds in the BX, reports has
it that they are recalcitrant and will germinate right away.

Most Oxalis (except for the panglobal weed in the stricta group), are
obligate out-crossers, employing a heterostyly system. What that means is
that even if you have two clones and they have the same style morphs, they
won't make seeds. So multiple clones are necessary for seed production.
