I saw a posting from Nexus User elliott concerning Byblis Liniflora and
thought I'd offer some suggestions.

If you are not getting seeds from your Byblis Liniflora try "flicking" the
flower with your finger while it is fully open, or strike the anthers with
a tuning fork (if you happen to have one of those lying around. Yeah, right.)

This will release the pollen onto the stigma and you should see the
ovaries of the flowers swell in a couple of weeks. This will work for the
Byblis Liniflora "type" and the "Darwin" forms. If you have one of the
Byblis Liniflora subsp. occidentalis then you will need to collect the
pollen and transfer it to a flower on another plant.

If you have further questions concerning Byblis, please post them and I
will answer. They are my main area of interest in the CP realm.
