Do these seeds look viable?

My Drosera venusta had a nice big flower stalk, and these are the seeds.
Do you think they will grow? Do I need to germinate under lights, or can I have them start outside in the sun?
 
Those plump seeds look very viable there Astroidea.

Make up a 50:50 mix of peat/coarse sand or peat/perlite.

Place the seeds on top of your slightly damp mix, mist the seeds, and place the pot in either a propagation dome or a ziplock bag.

And if you have a heat source such as a heat mat or an overhead flourescent light, those seeds will be sprouting for you very soon!

Once they start to sprout, give them a bit more fresh air slowly each day until they harden off to your growing conditions.

Good luck with them!
