I have one calla lily bloom and want to find out where are the seeds and how to get them? PLEASE HELP ME
Help with finding seeds (on a Calla Lily)
HoniBee... My callas have seeds, first time since I have been growing them. I had noticed what looked like spent flower blooms hanging down and just hadn't had time to tend that bed and cut off the flower pods. When I finally got around to it, I lifted one of the 'flowers' only to find it was very heavy and loaded with seeds. I'd estimate about 2-1/2" to 3" long, and at least 1" in diameter, with seeds that look the size of baby english peas. Mine are not ripe enough to pick yet, but I'd estimate 30 or more seeds per flower. I hope to take pictures of the seed pods (and then seeds) and post them later to our database.
I did a little research after I found there were seeds, and it seems the fresh seeds need to be planted now for best germination, which won't do in my zone as first frost is rapidly approaching. If I had a greenhouse, that would be a different matter.
Good Luck!
If you are not going to used them , can you share some with me?, in the southern hemisfere we are finishing winter, just the time to put any seed to the ground....

darius,
Thanks for info. I seem to like the things that have to be dug for winter. It is getting harder to do that so may have gear down. I need to move. :)
cristina,
If I get any seed I will let you have them.
If you want to see a picture of seed pods, let me know.
