Question on flowers

My S. purpurea ssp. purpurea is currently flowering, and I have been thinking of pollinating it with wild purp pollen. My question is; how long do Sarracenia flowers tend to last? This thing opened up around this past weekend, and I wouldn't be able to get to wild flowering purps until this weekend. Will the stigmas still be receptive by then? If it helps, the flower has a scent, and there is pollen collecting on the style.

wrap a little mesh bag to prevent pollination from another plant

The flowers open for about 10 - 14 days and can take the pollen anytime.
