Drosera…won on Facebook.

My wife and I entered a contest on Facebook. She won, and gave me her winnings (she’s not into carnivorous plants, except to observe mine).

We won a Sarracenia ‘Daina’s Delight’. Included were a bunch of little Drosera in the pot. Once divided and repotted, I ended up with 15 of them. Just not sure what they are.

This is the sarracenia.

And these are the drosera. So what are they?

They're almost definitely baby capes. They might not be tho(I'm like 98 percent sure)so keep us updated as they grow. They look to be either the 'Alba' or 'Albino' varieties.

I agree with Max, look like baby albino D. capensis to me!

Thank you, that was my initial thought, but I have never seen them this size.

I have grown/flowering size, and microscopic seedlings...so no "adolescent" ones, so wanted to confirm my suspicions.

Kind of weird how most drosera look the same when they are small, especially just starting from seed. Most of my seedlings look all the same, except my intermedia which grow up instead of out...if that makes sense.
