Drosera binata Marston Dragon Seeds

[AlmondMO]

I am still trying to figure out the timing on all this. I have a D. banana Marston Dragon in full flower and the flowers are starting to dry out but the flower stem is still pliable and not dried out. When to I collect the seeds? Can you cut the flower stem off and let it continue to dry or does it need to completely dry out on the plant. Any tips for collecting these seeds successfully would be greatly appreciated.

Note the photograph is from this morning to show you the current state of the flower stalk.

What I would do is to cut off the lower, very dark seed capsules and wait until the upper ones become dark also before you remove them. Then let them dry for a few days before you gently work the now-dried seed capsules to remove the mature seeds. It was a good idea to send the photo.

Mark: I assume that since you suggest I cut off the lower, very dark capsules means that they are ready? I don't want to misunderstand as I am way too new to this. Thank you for your reply above.
