What does Aponogeton Crispus seed look like

Can anyone show me? I can't find a picture of it.

This is the second time my aponogeton has flowered, and this time I tried to keep it out of the water and brushed it w/a feather to spread the pollen. I don't know if any of it will make seed. It is drying up now. My guess is that it didn't work and I should just cut off and discard this stem?

if its dry you can cut it... if you have babies you'll see them as tiny green balls attached to your stem, max size ~5mm, they will fall in water and grow pretty quickly )

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to see. Yeah, the stem was all turning brown and flowers shrivelling up nothing getting plump like that. Oh well.

Great info! Here's a neat read, also. Third paragraph has a good breakdown...
