Boophone seed

Jim,
Boophone are slightly self-compatible in my experience. This year, for instance, I've gotten about ~10 seeds from the only Boophone disticha that bloomed for me. This bloom included one individual flower stem that branched into 3 stems where the flower would normally be with each of those stems having a flower at the end (and one of them set a single seed).

Subject: [pbs] Boophone seed

My flower dehisced this morning from my large bulb and I am wondering if
there is any seed. I removed the dead flowers but when I candled a few
of the seed pods I do not see any seed. Are these self-incompatible?
Is there any way to find out among the 50+ flowers if there is any seed
in the entire head?
