Pics would help, but this sounds like it is enjoying the climate instead of sunburn.

That is one extremely healthy sundew!
You have nothing to worry about, they're fine, more than fine! There flowering, so they're happy

Congrat's on the flower, i hope you get lots of seed!

Red haired drosera capensis can turn a beautiful crimson if in full sun - similar to some red venus fly traps. Your plant looks wonderful and you should be very proud! Congrats!!
