Re: Taccarum weddellianum (was Flowering today ...)

---

And the evidence so far is that the reason I've never gotten seeds of
this is that there's nothing here that pollinates it. I hand pollinated
between the two inflorescences, one a day or two older than the other,
and have an infructescence on the younger bloom.

Still to be seen if they mature and are viable, but I've never gotten
even this far with Synandrospadix, so I'm tentatively calling this one
self-compatible.
