It sprang up in a VFT pot all on its own. Either it hopped as a seed from my germination chamber or it came from a seller with the VFT. OR mayhaps it's not a capensis

(Sorry about the image quality. I need a better camera in the worst way.)

Not a Capensis. Probably a rotundifolia.

A better pic would help but it's definitely not a capensis.

very cool! so it's probably a wild drosera.

I agree with hackerberry although it's possible it is a D. intermedia or D. capillaris.
The picture is not very clear.
Do a Google image search for Drosera rotundifolia, Drosera intermedia, and Drosera capillaris.
See which one yours most closely resembles.

Good growing,
Mike

That's what I thought as well but the pic just wasn't clear enough for a definite answer.

true. it's a really bad pic but if it were clear it would look just like an intermedia.

I would guess intermedia. Rotundifolia has leaves that are generally a little wider than long.
