Hi,

I don't know why my last message went private to Steve but here goes 
again,

I think Steve had the right idea about pollination being a problem. 
Sometimes the male and female blossoms aren't open at the same time 
which is why it is good to have more than one plant. You can assist 
nature by taking the innards from a male blossom (the ones without 
the bulge at the base.. the ovary) and rubbing the innards of the 
female blossom with it. This should transfer  pollen even if the male 
blossom had already closed up.

Hope this helps
