Excuse me for being off subject but is that Drosera hilaris alongside? Always good to have extra plant material - if you can keep it under control, ha!

Getting There...
The chrysantha is phenomenal, thank you for sharing!
Since everyone likes the chrysantha so much (I've actually currently got 6 flowers on 2 stalks):

But I have something even better at the moment:

Never realized the flowers can have yellow streaks down the nectar spur

And I selfed it, naturally, and there's a huge pod already developing. If all 3 develop the same way...gonna have a lot of seedlings. Also just because, took some pollen and put it on a U. calycifida bloom, and may well do the same with one of the buds on a longifolia stalk that's growing, just to see if anything results. Doubt it, but what the heck...

Those flowers I got off this plant, first pod made a bunch of seeds. Next two...not so much...but I still have something like 70+ U. nelumbifolia seedlings floating in a cup, slowly starting to grow...
