Spoke with Shirley today who also has offsets growing now, but has no idea about the seed setting bit. Hopefully I will find out with my bulbs. She originally got it from Joys Plants which is a nursery which often has unusual plants, but she only got it last year too, so am honoured she gave me some already! If they set seed, will save your email address and let you know. Might even have some to send to Dell..... Wishful thinking. Ina :-) on a mild fine winter day in Auckland.
