[Aroid-l] Anthurium pallidiflorum


I have an Anthurium pallidiflorum which had never bloomed since I got it.  I shocked it this winter by placing it in a very cold window- too cold really- but it produced 4 inflorescences in the following 2 months.   BUT the female flowers never produced any droplets along the spadices, although the inflorescences  did produce scent and turn yellow, while producing lots of pollen.   As a result, I got no berries.  Does anyone know why the plant wouldn't produce the droplets, (like maybe I let it warm up too much when the blooms were active)  or if this is what is supposed to happen with this species?  Or is it an obligate out-crosser or something?   Thanks, Mike Kerlin
