On the scrounge for VFT seeds

If some nice person is keeping venus fly traps and has any go to seed, would I be able to scrounge some seed off of you in the autumn? OH is desperate for a Garden of Doom on the pond margins.

I bought a grow your own VFT kit from The Range in their gareden section only cheap. The seeds (got about 10) have been planted now about 3 weeks in the little pot you get and nothing yet. so keep my fingers crossed.

Are they instant germinators, or do they need to be chilled? Most of these things grow slowly; they're adapted for very poor soils, after all. Fully-grown plants might be better if they're impatient.
