Welcome Foxngn. Your plants look to be growing very well. It is a sign they are growing well and enjoying the conditions when they are forming new leaves and have plenty of dew.

D. burmanii is an annual plant and so you need to make sure you collect the seed from the flowers.

Thanks.
Now i only knew Burmanii is an annual plant after you told. Any symptoms i shall be aware that the seed is ready to be pluck out ? It won't drop itself one right ?

Cool... yours plant like yours place... But, if can, give them more light... Yours plant will enjoy it under more light and will show you how happy they are when you do so...

The sign to look for in a mature seedpod is it turn brown. With burmanii the lower seedpods will mature before the top flowers have finished. The seeds which do reach the surface of the pot will germatate in about 6 - 12 weeks depending on the temperature.

What Khaos said is correct... Once it turn brown, I personnally will wait for 1 or 2 days before harvest it. Becuase, sometime, the seeds inside it still green color.

BTW, the 2nd photo is D. intermedia 'cuba'

I've been experimenting plucking out the flower shoots of one particular pot. So far that fellow is still growing. Wanna see for how long.
