I have a Drosera capensis seedling that have made two really large flowers, one had 5 sets of flowers on a single flower stalk. It's strange, because I usually see only one set of flowers on a single stalk, this one is kind of nuts.

Fertile as hell.

It managed to get some flies, but not more than others. They all flowered nicely, but this one is doing exceptionally well.

You can see amount of food on it's traps. A bit blurry, but still. Grows in pure peat.

Purple is standard. White is a genetically recessive cultivated variety known as "alba".
