Jon and Barry,

As far as I know, there is no problem in letting al the capsules
develop on your G.hispidula. Good luck. If I remember well, this species
will self pollinate easily. BUT.... G.violacea and others of
sect.Tayloria (G.uncinata, G.lobata) have to be HAND POLLINATED. What I
used to do is roll a piece of string into a stiff little "rope". This I
would stick in and out of each open flower with a tweezer. I call it the
"Artificial Flower Fornication Method"! :):)

Good luck!
