So I was let out of work early today and decided to swing by my local garden center (not Homedepot or Lowes) and was checking out the seeds that they had for spring. I was looking around and eventually got to their green house and eventually I spotted some Venus Fly Traps. I walked (ran) over to see what other carnivorous plants they had and saw some Pitcher plants (Purpurea) and Sundews! I think I scared the employees because I literally shouted "DROSERA!". Anyway, I snatched one up and was very happy. I had a VERY stressful day at work and this very muchly improved it. I THINK it's a D.Spatulata but I'm not 100% on it. Also it has a bunch of what look like babies around it and I'm not sure if I should separate them into their own pots or not. I'm going to snip off the flower stalk too.

That is a beautiful lil plant! It looks like a spatulata to me as well, or maybe D. capillaris?

Congrats on the new friend!
