Cryptanthus am I going to flower. Do they flower?

This is my Black Mystic

Uh huh Fleur, it looks like your question is answered! Have you tried pollinating it with itself, using a paintbrush? You might get seeds!

Oh good on you! I have no idea how well Crypts seed or germinate, but why not have a go anyway, I say? Thanks for your concern, but I am in a very green area, with high rainfall (297mm in the last 5 days, thats 12"!) I wish I could send some south, thats for sure!
Great shot of the flowers by the way!
Sue
