So I guess this is what happens when you don’t trim the stalks after they’ve bloomed? One even has its own flower stalk!

It's called a false vivipary. It's not super common but it can occur in many sundews and also flytraps.

Should I just leave them to grow? One is already popping out a flower stalk?!

You can potentially cut them off and try to establish them as separate plants. I don't think they'll grow forever the way they are now.
