Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow.
Unless you don't want sundew babies and want a bigger mother plant.

It won't flower unless
1. its about to die and it wants to pass on its genes
2. It vigorous
It doesn't look like it is about to die, so......

Find some one you don't like and blow them in their yard.

This was going to be my question.. I have a Cape Sundew which is very vigorous and now has 4 flower stalks (2 white and 2 purple). It would seem that I should let them flower and then harvest the seeds then?

But a daft question.. Why the picture of the VFT's with flower stalks?

Aha! I see the little beggers hiding in there now!
