Very nice indeed Bob! I didn't get that shading on the spur that your photo shows. This species appears to be self fertile so you may well get seed from it.
I have found Utricularia seed to be the most difficult to germinate unless it is fresh. If you have seed I suggest you sow it asap. I have good luck using a sphagnum slurry, allowing it to dry to moist and then gently spraying until the water level is again at the surface of the mix. You must take care not to bury the seed with the spray.
A sphagnum slurry is made by running moist LFS through a food processor until is is ground fine. Add pure water until it makes a very wet mush. That's the stuff.
Pond Boy,
