Onw of my Cryptostephanus as bloomed four times this year, and I have
a good fruit set from a spike that last bloomed in June. These must have
been naturally pollenated by insects, since this was the first time that
the plant bloomed out of doors. The fruit capsules are still green, but I
expect them to riped soon, since the plant is unbelievable in bloom
again, but this time moved to the warmth of the greenhouse since
temperatures here in New England are dipping below freezing in the
autumn evenings.
