Subject: Sarracenia seed maturation

I posted these questions several days ago in a
humorous format, but didn't get a single reply.
(Maybe no one took me seriously ?) I'll try
again in deadpan-serious mode:

My S. excellens and S. rubra have flowered several
times over the last two growing seasons, but for some
reason the flowers (minus petals) and seed pods
still remain fresh and green to this day. I know
a couple of them are over a year and a half old.
Is it typical for Sarracenia seeds to take this long
to mature ?

Out of curiosity, I opened one of the seed pods up
the other day to see if any seeds were present,
and curiously enough, three of them had germinated
into little seedlings right inside the sealed
seed pod! Has anyone heard of this happening before ?

Best regards,

Gordon
