Every flower produces seeds. They just need to be pollinated first. So check the web on how to pollinate sarra flowers(I think there's an article about that here or is that dionaea?)

It takes several months for the seed to ripen. It ripens at the end of the growing season in temperate areas.

First of all GuitarCrazyo is not making any sense, and he has posted in 1 other topic and no sense at all! Spammer?

Flowers, you need to manually pollenate them, with it's own pollen if it's just one flower, if you have several flowers going, try to cross pollenate, hopefully other insects will help you out. Then you wait a long time, maybe 3 to 6 months if I remember correctly. You will know it's time to cut it off if it has dried brown and the inside is swollen and about to crack.

After you gather the seeds, you need to stratify them in Ref for a month or two, before sowing. Unfortunately I am still waiting for my seeds (experimental cross pollenation) to germinate, maybe it won't, but I'm trying to forget about it and just be surprised after a few months

TTFN

I have deleted GuitarCrazyo's post. It does not make sense and is off topic.
