Is ready to take this hobby to a whole new level
After a somewhat thorough search on this subject, and not finding exactly the answer I wanted, I figured I'd give it shot. It's been maybe 1.5 months since I repotted and split a tiny pot of D. Adelae into 5 medium/small plants. Now at least two of them have flower stalks forming, (I'm excited. ) So a few questions...
1. Is it a rare occasion for D. Adelae to flower? After reading some older posts on here, it seems that some people might be having trouble getting theirs to flower.
2. Do these plants actually self-pollinate? If not, how would one pollinate a plant without the use of insects?
3. Are the seeds easy to grow/worth trying to get?
Here's some pictures. The first one, the stalk is very near the center, but you can just barely make out the buds...

This is the second plant, the stalk is much more developed, and preparing to make the stretch upwards...

And thanks in advance for your help/answers, you guys are the best!
Cheers!
