I was thinking the same, Donna, but I haven't removed the pollen yet and maybe it's too late? I had this bulb in clay granules and almost all the roots rotted this winter. I repotted it some weeks ago but it didn't grow new roots since then. That's why I wasn't sure whether I want it to set seeds or not. I tried #1807s pollen on my Exotica x Exotica flower but it doesn't look very promising... Maybe I just give it a try. It could be a sign that she is as small as #1807 this year :-)

Well, as you say, it may be too late to remove the pollen successfully but if you do try, cut a piece of straw and totally cover the stigma when you remove the pollen just to keep it from floating in the air and contaminating. If you haven't been moving the plant around it might be worth a try but it would be a long time before you realized you just have a self...

...not if I get seedlings with variegated leaves:-)

...true, true....:-))

Donna, do you have a variegated leaf Hippy?

HI Pat, Yes I have Santos, Autumn Pink Lady and another Komoriya whose name eludes me at the moment probably because it hasn't leafed out yet and I have two #1807 from our newly arrived Sonatini order which haven't bloomed yet!! I have several seedling with variegated leaves also including Santos x Party Poopers!! I have two seedling of Santos x Chico one which is quite large!! I am in love with the striped leaves!! I assume that's what you meant by variegated leaves...☺☺
