Ray makes an interesting observation (i.e., the white cottony
material). I have found this to be true in many cases, but *occasionally*
sowing large amounts of material from a green capsule may yield a few
protocorms. In other words, flaying open the capsule and scraping the
inside, and sowing directly to media, sometimes yields a few plants.

Mind you, this is of little utility for commercial propagation, as
the yield is usually quite low (tens of seedlings, usually).
