Subject: Heliamphora flowering

I just now discovered that my Heliamphora minor is sending up a flower
stalk- I'm quite proud, but have a few questions.

Can this plant be selfed? If not, can the pollen be frozen? If so, does
anyone want it?
It is not of great importance to me that seeds result from this, but if
there is a way not to waste it...

I have heard that allowing a Heli to flower taxes its health, and unless
seed is required I should cut off the stalk. Is this true?

Thanks,

Jonathan
