I believe I read that you should wait until the stem is dried out to harvest. <BR/><BR/>leslie - i'm really surprised there is only 1 since there are lots of blooms. Maybe I should have read up on how to hand-pollinate?<BR/><BR/>alvis - thanks! and thanks for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>catsynth - this is the only time I've ever tried to grow these. I ordered seeds from Botanical Interests, soaked them overnight then started them in a coconut fiber pellet. It took a really long time to germinate but other than that, it was easy.
