Never had any luck, but since the seeds seems sensible to dessication and the ones i received where kinda bone-dry beige seeds with no sign of a living embryo, im not much surprised...

I've never had any luck with seeds of any epiphytic utrics. Tom have you tried TC for them?

Ive been warned about the seeds haveing a really short shelf life , but i thought it was just not getting the enviorment just right .

theres a real short life for em and it also seams that they go into some kind of dormancy.... I remember sowing about a dozen utric species, and waiting, and waiting, then waiting some more, I think finally after 3 months I gave up on them and re sowed the pots with some drosera or something and about 5 months down the road, the stupid little things started to show up, but then again, maybe it was just a fluke?

I've seen U. subulata seeds come up six months or later after the flowers were gone.

No i never tried them in TC Lloyd, but if my U. alpina plants are thriving enough to allow it, i might try to TC some leaves... but since the risks are high that I'll move again this summer, i prefer restrain my TC experiments, since moving flasks higher the chance of contamination...
The only Utrics I had luck with seeds for germination are U. cornuta, U. gibba, U. calycifida, U.delicatula, U.subulata (duh!) from what i remember (should take more note on my growing attempts...)
I might have some for trade in spring Jay if you're out of luck with your seeds
