are longarms steril;e ?
 
¿longarms? Do you mean Drosera capillaris "long arm"? Very self-fertile - they'll spread in your collection like crazy. Especially the Tate's Hell Swamp, FL stuff I've been distributing the past 3-4 years. Some people think it is an introgressed D. intermedia hybrid but Ivan Snyder and others pretty much proved otherwise.
 
IME they spread vegetatively too...but yes, seed is good.
 
Taken the end of February, plants are coming out of semi-dormancy. You can see a pile of seedlings on the right where I gave away a clump, replace the media and re-seeded.

The trick with the seed from these buggers is they don't like high humidity so germinate them uncovered.
