Over the last few weeks, my Red Dragon and Sharks Tooth have began to thrive, hopefully I will see a lot more from them before the end of the season.
Also one of my normals has really began to grow, this was unexpected, as I bought it when it was in a possibly fatal condition. My D.spatulata, D.capensis alba, and my D.Hybrida have grown stems and flowered. The spatulata (7 flowers) is currently developing seeds, unfortunately, the capensis alba (8 flowers) failed to deliver any. And the 3 hybrida flowers are half closed, awaiting results.

Hi Ollie thank you for the update on your plants .
They do seem to have grown a lot :D
With all your flower stalks just let the flower pods go totally black before doing anything with them .
You will know when they are ready to drop their seed for as soon as you touch the pods your fingers will have black seeds on them . :D
The D x hybrida you will not get seeds from that will be of any use to you .
As the plant is a cross between D intermedia and D filiformis it creates only sterile seeds .
You will only get new plants from natural divisions in the next year or so .

I hope this helps

Regards Duane
