Howdy, Looking for Drosera Admirabilis 'floating'!

Howdy everyone! So, after being in a rabbit-hole of carnivorous plant videos on Youtube, I saw a video featuring a drosera admirabilis. I totally fell in love with its look, particularly how it stacks in height, or "float". If you have one/any, I'd be willing to buy :)

Howdy Sundeewz! I actually saw that one too, but the "Bains Kloof" in the name made me unsure if it is the same plant I saw (or some hybrid). I am really just fascinated by the one that appears to grow in a tall column. But if it's the same thing, hey! :D

The moss tries to overgrow the plants but they keep a little ahead of it.
I was messing in this pot, digging up plants for the auction, but you can see a little column action under the plant on the right.
And I just noticed today, a flower scape has appeared.

Here's a similar Drosera with a nice growth habit.
This is Drosera cuneifolia, another South African Rosetted species.

Herbz is right, all admirabilis sundews stack over time. Also these pictures kind of make me regret not adding on an admirabilis to my order at CC.
