D. adelae is interesting....most of the clones in cultivation I have seen
flower profusely, prop vegetatively from roots naturally, but never produce
seed. But I got seed from the ICPS seedbank which germinated and grew into
D. adelae. So that proved that seed can exist! I think that maybe you have
to cross two clones. Since most of my plants are the same clone, I was going to
X them with the seedbank plants but forgot, and since then traded the seedbank
plants away!

Rick: I'm not a Ping sort, but I may be able to dig up some info---but
I think others on this list are more expert on the Mexicans than I
