My agnata red leaf was pollinated about a month ago now and 4 days ago 1 of the 3 stalks shriveled and collapsed. Now a second is appearing to do the same. Whyyyy nothing has changed since I did it

The majority of Mexican Pinguicula do not self easily. Either you will simply not get any seeds, or very few, week seeds. I tried crossing my emarginata with a friend's, and at first it seemed the pollination was successful, however, it has done the same thing as yours, so I am assuming I simply accidentally self-pollinated mine instead of getting pollen fromhis plant on mine's stigma.

Well, the second flower stem, was cut off last night. I inspected the pod, and noticed it was cracked open. So I took some white paper, and oula, I have seeds, it's not full like you said, I didn't exclusively self poll. I used my only other flowering one, primiliflora. Now the test begins again

I'm glad you got at least some seed from it. I'd be interested in seeing how they progress!

P. primuliflora is from a different Subgenus and I would not expect that you could cross pollinate the two, so I would expect that the flower was just accidentally self-pollinate in the attempt to make the hybrid.
