some Veltheimia bracteata & Cyrtanthus suaveolens

I have a white or more correctly cream Veltheimia bracteata that was a
chance seedling that I grew from the rose coloured specimens and it
regularly produces very good crops of seed that all germinate quite
readily without any special treatment. However not surprisingly, as it
is a first generation 'hybrid' or what ever you might call it, it only
produced about 10% white or cream next generation plants. I have yet to
carry out investigation upon pollination between members of this new
colour strain.

I have some pink V.bracteata in full bloom right now ... immediately adjacent to the yellow form which was in full bloom a month ago. The pinks always produce a lot of seed ... but not the yellows. Have others noticed that yellow V.bracteata seems disinclined to set seed?

Also ... another Cyrtanthus suaveolens blooming now.
