I got a Sarracenia exornata 'Manny Herrera' Washington County, AL. It contained pitchers and flowers from last season. Since I usually cut flower stalks off, I am not sure what seeds would look like on the flower. Are these black things on the left of the bulbous part of the flower seed? If so, what are the odds they are viable?

Those are the shriveled stamens. The seeds would be inside that green pod there. You'll know when the seeds are ready when the pod turns brown and starts cracking open.

Thanks. I assume it’s best to leave these on now since whatever energy spent was just that, spent.
I’ll be donating some since there are three flowers on this bad boy.
Not sure what they will be or what they were pollinated with. I’ll ask Manny.

Yup, just leave it right there. If it was pollinated, it will slowly swell as the seeds ripen. Sarrs take their sweet time with their seeds, so any seeds won't be ready for a few months.
You'll know when they're close by the pod drying out and turning brown. If you plan on harvesting the seeds, I'd cut the flower head off when the pod is halfway dried and brown and let it finish up in a small bowl inside.
