Hi all

I was trying to obtain seed from a couple of different plants
Synandrospadix verimitoxicus.

-From what I can see, there seems to be a bushy set of male
flowers on the spadix that don't seem to produce much pollen. I
haven't seen the female flowers without destroying the spathe.

There have been a few blowflys attracted to the flower but
nothing like the quantity  attracted to Dracunculus vulgare. The
flowering period for the 2 plants has overlapped slightly by a couple
of weeks.

Any suggestions please to pollinate or enhance seed set.

thanks
stephen
