Why doesn't Belamcanda produce seeds?

dwaynet Los Ba�os, Philippines Jan 11, 2005

For years these belamcanda chinensis (or look-alikes?) have been growing and blooming in our garden. Not once have they even given a hint of setting those beautiful blackberry-like seeds. What's wrong?

Your plant really looks like some sort of tiger lily. Here's a picture of my blackberry lily that gives forth oodles of seeds every year.

Have you tryed to pollinate them yourself,
maybe that would produce seeds.
Not an expert though.lol.
Other wise I have no clue.
I winter sowed some.Sure hope they come up,
they are very pretty.Thanks,Jody

dwaynet,

I think I see a seed pod in your picture. About 12 o'clock right behind the bloom. What does your clump look like now, or have you cut them down.

They do look like a lilium (lily) to me.
