may have spelt wrongly!!
i bought some bulbs earlier this year and they have flowered very well
flowers now on the turn and am left with a sort of 'pod' where flower head was
on opening this 'pod' there are small black 'seeds'
are these in fact seeds that if looked after might produce more flowers/bulbs?
there is no mention of this on the various web pages i have looked at....but these flowers were so nice i should not like to abandon chance to increase

Re: brodelia queen fabliosa
It's probably a variety of this: https://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Dichelostemma+pulchellum
Also called Blue Dicks in the US. Google searches show propagation from seed is possible.

Re: brodelia queen fabliosa
Just for the record, the spelling is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122912848331 . It's a variety of Triteleia laxa.
We had them this year for the first time, and they've been superb. I don't think they're kidding when they say they flower from July to October - ours are going strong. The colours are wonderful.
According to the RHS:
FWIW, I'd guess that it might take a few years for those seeds to become corms, so maybe corm division is the way to go? And one source I looked up said that you should refrigerate the seeds, or even freeze them, before sowing so that they have the full 'winter effect' and they're ready for the spring.

According to the RHS:
Cultivation
Plant 8cm deep in autumn in light, sandy, fertile soil. Will need protection from frosts and excessive winter wet
Propagation
Propagate by seed, sown with moderate heat as soon as ripe. Separate corms when dormant

Re: brodelia queen fabliosa
apols delay in acknowledging as didnt get the usual 'link' so never found replies
hoping you correct ad will def give it a go...nothing ventured, nothing gained
