2017/9/1 Full bloom.Brush the flower with watercolor brush.I have only 1 plant/clone but i DID pick the different flower in the inflorescence.I did a lot of work on pollination . Did't count how many but i think it is around 20~30 flower i pollinatied.

2017/9/27 Bloom withered.I pinch it fell a hard feeling in some branch.

hard feeling comes from this one i think this may be the seed ?

leave come after flower. Just a typical Boophone thing.

Although the viable of seed is still unknow.But this is not the first time kohinoor seen self-fertile Boophone. Other enthusiasts has been show me picture proof of  self-fertile Boophone. Sadly they did not authorized me to use picture.

With the help of Mr. Wu and some street talk and gossip it is clear that Boophone are slightly barely marginally self-fertile.

self-fertile with very low success rate around 3~5% (number of success flower/total pollination try)
