Hi James,
If you self-pollinate the flowers, you can still use the orginal
location data. The only genes in that seed will be from the original
site. You can also collect seed from a site and name it as such...
Sarracenia are not self-pollinating but they are self-fertile so
you can produce seed with good location data by helping out with
the pollination.
