U. calycifida question

i have the Mrs. Marsh variety and was wondering if this species will self pollenate and produce viable seed? ANNNND if it does, just how big are the seeds? i dissected a spent flower the other day and noticed about 8-10 seed looking things but they were sorta "large" relitivly speaking. i was under the impresion that Utric seed was fine but this stuff is larger than my D. capensis and nidiformis seed by 3 times or a bit more.
 
Mine have self pollinated and produced seed. Yes they are bigger than the Drosera seed you mentioned. They also are easy to start from seed. I don't believe they will produce new Mrs. Marsh plants but it would be fun to see what comes up. Maybe a new cultivar "Mr. Marsh"?

Plant those seeds and have fun.
Glenn
