Its always in flower when we go there and I have never managed to get my
hands on it (no seeds cos its in flower!), does it set seed for you?
Its very pretty and so nice to have it flowering now.

It hasn't set seed so far but Ray's only had it ten years. ;-) It seems
to be something of a rarity here (nobody mentions it in the Plant Finder)
and we're told that it's becoming rare even in Madeira but perhaps that's
just in the wild. Ours is blooming beautifully now but is bursting out of
its pot, so Ray will divide it later this year. I asked the question
because we had an email from someone very keen to get a bulb or two, so he
might be allowed to buy *one* later. ;-)
