I have no experience with the species in general and did not found much information about it.
It would be great to get some advice.
Are the seedlings come out as white or mixed?
If without isolation, can a white Glaucidium get pollen from a purple form and seedlings would be both colour form?
And finally how is Glaucidium get pollinated (insects I guess?)

Thank you Maggi, I need to ask growers directly :)

Several growers have stated in that thread that seed from white forms of Glaucidium palmatum does not always throw white flowered seedlings - and this has been our experience here too.
I imagine that pollination is by insects - the flowers are visited by pollinators, for sure.

Thank you, that is exactly what I thought. And just by accident I got Glaucidium seeds on raffle at Rock Garden meeting in Perth yesterday!
