There is a website called seedsandmore.net. They are located in Canada and they have a decent variety of carnivorous plant seeds including darlingtonia, if you want to acquire those seeds you should definitely check that website out. I've ordered Sarracenia flava, purpurea and cobra lily seeds from them and they all came in within a week. One thing to be warned of is that they charge in usd even though they are a Canadian website.

They are good, not a waste of money, no more questions needed. Buy em and plant em just like hundreds of people have done, hundreds of times. Unless you of course are the type that just ask questions for the sake of asking questions

Dennis I say this in the nicely way possible but if you just googled your questions and did a minute or two of research before you posted it would save you all these sarcastic remarks. If you come to the table already having done some research people will respect you a little more and want to help you out. Most of time you will probably find your answer while doing a little research. A little effort goes a long way.

I wasn't having much success getting my Darlingtonia seeds to germinate, in 8" plastic pots inside a propagation dome with bottom heat from a seedling mat. Almost a month and no seeds sprouting. So I put the pots outside in full sun from 11:30 am until 7:30 pm. They were cooled down after the first hour with cold water being sprayed on the surface, even in full sun. Sprouts started showing up right away. There are still new cobras popping up and I've had the pots outside for the past few days, spraying them down about once an hour during peak sun, until about 4:00 or 5:00 depending how hot it is. 25C here today. The pots are brought in after 7:30, placed back under lights until their bedtime. Once the colder weather hits, these seedlings will be under lights for the winter. have to say though that the outside exposure has left these seedlings very healthy looking, with good color in their little cheeks. dvg

I found that with cold stratification darlingtonia seeds were really easy to germinate.

I am going to try DVG's method and see if it helps

When these first come up for you Dennis, the seed cap will still be attached to the two thin cotyledon leaves.
The leaves formed next on the plant will be true leaves and also carnivorous.
One of my seedlings with its second pitcher has already captured a springtail.
These seedlings are probably too small to hand feed at this size, but they seem more than capable of capturing their own prey, even at such a young age.
My seeds were sown on July 30 and nothing really started happening with them until September.
