Seed from U. sandersonii.

[Hermopolis]

I have a utric. sandersonii that is about to bloom, and I would like to collect the seed for trade (for other utrics ) or perhaps donate it to the ICPS seed bank. Is this utric self-pollinating? What is the best way to collect the seed? How should one store utric seed?

Thanks,

-Hermes.

I believe that I have read that getting seed from the white version of 'bunny ears' is not possible. You'll have to try another species (although most folks just use divisions for propagation w/ the little invasives).

For more info, here's Barry's take on the species.
