Lee, it is very unusual ( as far as my experience goes ) for Oxblood lillies to make seed,.
I have had them for a long time and they never have done that, so maybe you have a different strain.
I hope the seeds produce plants for you, althought the bulbs are very prolific and probably will outproduce the seeds.
Here is a lovely Liatris mucronata growing wild at the Fort Worth nature preserve, these grow wild there as well as many other flowers. I was amazed at the large ammount of land they have reserved,
( over three thousand acres)!!! with prairies, wetlands, and forest, they even have Bison.
We are very lucky to have it, as our natural habitats slowly disappear due to urban sprawl.
Well, back to the Liatris.
