FYI--Herbertia lahue will form, mature, and pop those seeds within 3 weeks. I have some about to pop now and some also blooming today. So definitely do not wait until June or July to gather those seeds if you want any.

Another interesting bit of trivia about the TEXAS form of this bulb--it is a repeat bloomer.

A little background here to illustrate this point. There are exactly 4 bulbs in this pot--no more, no less--I know this because I'm researching to publish a paper about the 2 forms of this bulb in a Botany.org publication this fall. Most of it would not be very interesting, but this point might.

Look carefully into this pot and you can easily find the 4 bulbs.
