I clipped off the bee-pollinated flower stalks from my NoIDs and from Semp Clipper at what I hope was the right time (the rosettes were definitely dead) and put them in paper bags. I think the Clipper rosette bloomed because it was stressed rather than ready -- although I still have a rosette, if I'd known what I know now, I would have clipped that one before it budded. Will it set viable seed? Thumb of 2014-09-14/MotherRaphaela/0b57f7 I should probably keep it separate so I'll know.

My NoIDs are at least as attractive as any named ones -- so I'm guessing I should just mix up the seed and plant some? They are not exactly what you could call the result of scientific selection...
