Good Day All, I cross posted part of this to the Fat Plants Yahoo Group but I thought that reaching out to PBS with a few more questions could bring additional information. Does anyone know if Ledebouria is self-fertile? I know that it must be somewhat self fertile because of past experience, but I am looking to pollinate my L. galpinii and only one is presently spiking. I've gotten L. socialis and Masara's Drimia (I think it's a Ledebouria) species ex. Somalia both to produce a pittance of seed on their own volition. As far as pollen production and stigma receptivity, and fertilization; which comes first the chicken or the egg? I've had a blasted time with my Veltheimia seed production this year. NOT ONE capsule has formed thus far. Perhaps it is the same for all Hyacinthaceae? Recently I've had clarified L. pauciflora as the type form of L. socialis. Is there a good paper on the genus? Wasn't Venter doing somthing on it? Does the pollen store well? I suppose the method for storing pollen of Hippeastrum could theoretically work... Anyone doing it? Thanks all, Michael
