How long does it take for the seeds to fully develop?

Im new to this. And i would appreciate some help. I have one of these plants. Its got two huge flowering stalks. One of the flowers openened 3 days ago. More maybe tomorrow and next days. But the flower that opened three days ago i dont think has opened since. Is that it? I lost my chance to polinate that one single flower or will it open once a day till the summers over? I also self polinated 6 petals from my venus flytrap and the seed pods closed up, but two to three weeks later, i got no seeds from it :( . No idea why

Lewis o kelly the capensis only flower for 2-3 hours usually while I’m still asleep. Keep checking on it and each one of those pods is a flower. Most will self pollinate and this is not necessary. As for the VFT’s I’m not sure... you may be pollinating them too early? Wait til the Middle is fluffy it is most receptive at that point. You might even be able to see the pollen come off on your brush like my other video. Use a sterile brush. I’m not sure how to help if you followed all the steps correctly. I usually get a flower a day or so from my capensis, but sometimes not every day

Paul Walker thanks alot Paul. You know how people say they "self pollinate". Well does that mean the plant polinates itself without the help of bees or wind? Cos its in the window but no wind or bees get to it. My drosera usually opens from 12 pm for a few hours. But only one or two flowers out of 20. Its my one and only drosera. No idea what happened my Venus fly traps seeds. I have another one with 5 seed pods about 10 days into pregnancy. So fingers crossed I get seeds from this one. Thanks for your help. P.s I love your movies

Hello, may I know the extra steps on cross pollinating?
