Yes Ina ! Have a look at these babies everyone !
Mine have never produced a seed pod, but look at them, they are healthy &
happy. Ive tried hand polenating & the European & Native Australian bees
have a field day amongst them !

Steven,
That is a spectacular pics of them..... I am
jealous as all heck. I grow a bunch of different
rainlilies, yet grandiflora died out for me (I've
not yet retried it). The other one that has
never done well for me (this one with repeated
attempts) is Zephyranthes candida..... I know
people near me who grow it like weeds, but it
doesn't like me at all. Go figure!!!!!?
Cheers.
