Help my sarracenia is flowering along with a clone from a division I took a couple years ago off the same plant will I or a bee be able to pollinate it and if a bee does will it make sterile or wacky seeds?

Can you pollinate a sarracenia with a clone of itself?

You can self pollinate sarracenia and they will produce viable seed. From what I've seen the main negative is that the seed set tends to be lower than if you cross pollinated it with a different individual. I only did it a few times but I never noticed the offspring to be different in any way from cross pollinated seed.
