Default Venus fly trap question.

Hi all.
I purchased a pair of flytraps in may, during the summer each pot
grew about 20 or so heads.
Over the past few weeks all the growth has started dying off, due to
the cooler weather and less sunlight onto the plants.
(They are in a south facing window, which is usually at more than 15
degrees).
Anyway, quite unexpectedly, one of the plants started growing a vertical
shoot with a small head ... at the moment its about 5 inches in length.
There are signs of a second shoot on the same plant, also the starts of
two shoots on the other plant.
Whats the best way to pollinate each plant, where do the seeds form???

Both pots are in an ice-cream tub, which has always had about 1-2cms
of distilled water in it .... should i cover the plants with some form
of clear lid to maintain a "warm,humid" atmosphere .... or maybe
just leave the plants to their own devices at this time of year??


Regards
steve
