<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>These produce viable seed readily from self-pollinated flowers. Just carefully remove the pollen from beneath the stigma flap and place it on the upper surface of the same, then wait about 2-3 weeks. The seed pod will split open when ripe to reveal the small dark brown seed. Sow them promptly and they should germinate readily into many small genetically distinct individuals.

Basically you have the ovary. At the end of the ovary and mostly blocking the opening of the flower is the stigma (this is a flap that is connected at the end of the ovary and it covers the two stamens), filaments with attached anthers are hidden underneath the stigma. The upper surface of the stigma is where pollen is received to accomplish pollination, while the underside of this stigma cover is where the plant keeps its own pollen. This reduces the chance that pollen from this same plant will reach the upper surface of the stigma and self-pollinate the flower.
When pollinating
Pinguicula extra caution must be used because the connection of the stigma to the ovary is very tenuous and fragile while the stamens are more substantial and firmly attached to the base of the ovary.
Frequently pollen is released and accumulates under the covering stigma, which can then be collected with a flat toothpick and gently placed on top of the stigma surface to effect pollination.
I myself have found it easier to first photograph the flowers for posterity and then to carefully remove most of the petals to make it easier to access the reproductive parts of the flower without damaging them.</span>
