xHippestrelia from seed

Pam, I have several large, glossy mahogany-red seed pods of Hippeastrelia seed ripening. Strangely, they bloomed well but the companion Sprekelia have done nothing. Will sow some seed and see what results. This spring has been hard because there have been rains on and off for weeks! Of course, we can't complain about rain! -Cynthia Mueller, Central Texas

This thread about H. 'Red Garden' has prompted me to ask - after
unsuccessfully searching the elist archives - can someone share with me
their experience of growing xHippestrelia from seed?
My seedlings were sown in June 2011 from seed taken from this plant:

I'll transplant them into a raised bed in fall but am curious about when to
reasonably expect them to flower.
On the H. 'Red Garden' topic, I am very interested in having seed. Thank
you, Fred, for the query! I have three large seed pods on the same
xHippestrelia (in the wiki photo) and if there's interest, I too will send
them to the BX.
