Hi Guys
I've had this plant for about 6 months and it has just recently thrown a tall stalk with about 12 small violet flowers. Anyone tell me what the stalk is all about and what are the rest of the small growths around the trumpets.

The other plants are Drosera capensis, and an unknown weed. The capensis is the plant that's flowering.

If you want a lot of capensis then let it flower. If not then remove the stalk, because they will produce tons of seed.

Thank you so much for a quick and informative reply

The weed is now history;-}

The weed looks like a fern to me

The weed is/was a fern. The sticky growths that are flowering are Drosera Capensis, the Cape sundew. I'd suggest transplanting them into their own pot so they don't overgrow your sarr, D. Capensis are a fairly nice plant that are worth intentionally growing.

You got rid of the capensis? Man and to think some people pay money for them.

I think he got rid of the fern.

Yes, the fern was removed the capensis is being nurtured, I like the look of it in the same pot as the Sarracenia

Capensis is a subtropical plant while purpurea is a temperate plant, just so you know.
