Hi Ellen, Growing bulbs from seed is our preferred method of obtaining bulbs for many reasons, not least of which how enjoyable it is to see them go from seed to maturity as you mentioned. I am curious, have you indeed bloomed Pseudogaltonia clavata from seed? I can only imagine the elation! How many years did it take? Jacob Knecht ---------- - http://www.flickr.com/photos/morabeza79/
