Dear Marek,
about three months on these A. andreanum-type plants, but we are talking
over 45 years ago! I know that some other sections of Anthyrium have VERY
long fruit development times.
By the way, Vic Soukup needs the seeds he asked for as his research involves
extracting certain compounds from fruit/seeds, so having plants alone does
him no good.
Good Growing,
Julius
