My plant has flowered quite a bit and there is dead flowers everywhere which produce the seeds.
I know they are tiny black seeds but that is about it.

If someone can give me a down and dirty on how to safely get the seeds I can send them to who ever. Don't really care for profit. Or i can send the whole dead flower and you can take it from there.

States only. (I reside in Texas)

You should wait until the flower pods are dry and brownish (dead-looking) before collecting the seeds :)

That is what I did to the first set. I was just letting people know I have a potential for a lot of seeds.
Thanks for the advice though!

When I send seeds, I cut a drinking straw and place the seeds in there with paper towel or tape around both ends. That way they are a little protected when they're being shipped.

with drosera, i have found that the seeds are so tiny, they dont seem to be affected bu the mail procesing units. I have never had any problems with seeds being shipped in mail, but i have heard horrer stories from others with larger seeds getting crushed. What would you like for some seeds?

1 stalk is gone. The other is up for grabs still.

You might want to wait until they turn brown, but I am definitely no expert on sundews. I would be willing to trade some D. Indica and D. Capensis seeds.

I should have prefaced that better. I will be waiting until the time is right (stalk dark brown, etc.) before I ship. I just wanted to give advance notice of what I will be doing.

As of right now both stalks are going to homes.
Thank you everyone for suggestions and tips.
