Subject: tuberous Drosera fertilization

A couple of people were talking a few days ago about whether tuberous
Drosera flowers are self-fertile and someone said no. I have a D.bulbosa
that's sending up a couple or more inflorescenses and I'm curious if the
plant itself is not self-fertile, or just the flowers (i.e. like Dionaea
where the male and female parts don't ripen at the same time) and whether
it's likely at all I could successfully cross-pollinate it between
flowers?
