Is this a baby capensis?

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 it, drosera intermedia. same coloration and cluster growth in the middle. we have a winner.

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.
