I, too, felt that maturing the seeds took strength from the mother plant.
My plant did bloom once last year while the seeds were maturing, but
did not produce any offsets.  I was concerned, but still waited.  Now 
that the seeds have matured, the plant has already produced two 
offsets, and looks really healthy andstrong.  It is several inches taller 
than the other Clivia I have.

Jim, I still have the yellow Clivia.   I have grown several from seeds 
however mine did not take so long to mature on the mother plant.   My 
conclusion 
is it takes a lot from the mother plant when the seeds are left on and 
reduces the future bloom.   Perhaps I should have fertilized more to 
compensate. 
My plants are large enough now that babies are produced regularly.   
This is a nightmare of a growing season.   We are going to get a break 
from the 90s this week.   Thur temps are predicted at 69 and even some 
rain.   Hurrah!   I can't imagine what will be left to bloom in August.   
And 
what will the fall be?
