It was tough to capture a good photo, given the harsh afternoon sunlight, but here's a photo of two Drosophyllum seed capsules, closed and open. I also like this photo since you can see a portion of a leaf as well. I pollinated the flowers about 6 weeks ago. This is the first time I've been able to collect Drosophyllum seeds. They are known to be slow to germinate so I'm going to review my "Savage Garden" book as well as the ICPS webpage on growing Drosophyllum to make sure I optimize conditions for success.
