Venus Flytrap Flowering and Seed Collection Timing

Dillon's 'Dente' flytrap sent up a flower stalk in summer (~3 inches tall). He asks if it's too late for flowering and seed collection this year.

Expert Answer: Time Remains, But Cross-Pollination Needed

Jeff Dallas says there's plenty of time before fall for blooming and seed set, but the plant must be cross-pollinated with a genetically different Venus flytrap to produce viable seed.

Good Growing!
