Cardiocrinum seed pods

I wouldn't mind a pod or two Linda when they are ready. I'd like to have a go. The only trouble is Lily beetle down south. I think they havn't reached Scotland yet. AndrewR shows one and, said it had been got at by the red menace, but still managed to bloom. I grow Crinum but they don't seem to attract this annoying pest.

I would like to have a go but I'm afraid I don't have the patience to wait years for it to flower! Lovely seed head though, very architectural!
