Hi, would like to check if anyone has tried self pollenating or at least pollenating the same flower with it's own pollen for Sarracenia?

One of my Sarracenia (I think it's the S. Alata) has grown a bud, and it should be blooming soon. I would like to know if I can try to get some seeds out of it if I try to pollenate it with it's own pollen. The problem is that there are no other Sarracenias in my collection that is actually flowering now.

Another thing, is that we are about to get cooler weather now that the North East winds are starting to come (dry season) I am not sure why the plant chose to bloom at this time, wonder if it was actually sleeping these past few months, though it never grew any dormancy leaves.

Wonder if I should just cut the flower stalk! I heard someone tell me that Sarracenias don't show that much stress while flowering though.

TTFN
