We were writing about D.adelae. I think you may have missed my point
about the needing two clones, though (Unless I missed something :) .
Most of the collections, mine too, have only one clone even though
the person has lots of rosettes. If a plant is not self-fertile, you
will not get it to produce seed even if you take the pollen from
other plant of the same clone; not just from the same plant/flower.
The only problem is I don't know if D.adelae is self-fertile or not.
I know it's not self-pollinating, but that might just mean you or some
friendly bug has to help out. I guess, by now, you'll know if it is
from watching for the seed to grow...
