My genlisea hispidula are blooming

Can anyone tell me if G. hispidula self pollenate, and if so, how long does it take for the seeds to reach maturity? Also, aprox. how many seeds can I expect per pod?
Thanks for any info,
Nile
 
Most, but not all flowers self. I haven't timed maturation, but would guess it takes a couple of weeks. I suppose each pod has a couple hundred seeds at most, but again, haven't counted.
 
The seed pods will turn from green to a light brown color and will eventually dry and crack open. How long that takes seems to depend on the temperature. If the seed falls into a suitable media, you will eventually find volunteer plants in that pot. After I purposefully seed a new pot, it seems to take a couple of months before I notice little seedlings.
