Seeds, but no sprouts?

Has it ever happened to you?? Two bulbs...selfed about the same time. Both have huge, fat, beautiful plump seed pods loaded with black thick seeds. You sow them both in the same mixture...and nearly every seed of Paris (self) sprouts and so far not a single sprout of Apple Blossom (self). WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!?

I'm scratching my head. If a plant was sterile, they wouldn't set seed, or would they? Each little embryo was just as plump as could be, and not a single sprout. I love my AB and have many of them, but this was my first attempt to self her, and she didn't cooperate!

:-?
