Crinum x powellii

Dear all;
I had an abundance of bloom on Crinum x powellii this spring
and summer. I dabbed pollen indiscriminately on many flowers from C.
bulbispermum (mostly) and other powellii-types. Of the potentially
hundreds of such dabbings I got 5 small seeds. Of these two have
germinated to the 2 leaf stage. One other has put out a root, but is
sitting there.
Has anyone else ever had an x powellii set fertile seed?
I plan on wintering them indoors, frost free.

Very curious. Jim W.
