Okay, just to be clear on this:

I have Drosera intermedia in flower at the moment & will most likely
be donating some seed to the seedbank.

I have Utricularia intermedia that is not flowering. Having no
flowers on the Utricularia, I do not expect to have seeds from it.

If anyone wants to donate any other X. intermedia plants, I will be
happy to grow them just to make things more confusing. ;)
