Flowers

I have a couple of questions about my flowering D.burmannii.
1. How long do the flowers stay open for?
2. How long does it take for the seed to ripen to the point that it can be planted?
3. Does it produce many seeds per flower pod?
 
I do not grow D.burmannii. D. sessilifolia is a Brazilian cousin to D.burmannii which I do grow.
1. Most sundews the flowers only a hour or so.
2. A few weeks. I collect when it brown and dry.
3. Yes
 
An add'l comment: even if you are used to how small Drosera seed can be - D. burmanni/D. sessilifolia seed is amazingly tiny.

Dionaea & other Drosera (like D. filiformis) are massive by comparison....
 
Does Drosera burmannii normally produce smaller and smaller leaves while they are flowering and producing seeds?
