Thanks to the unseasonably warm weather we've had some of my Drosera are waking up. There is a good chance I will lose most of this growth when the next extended cold spell comes, but luckily Drosera are the weeds of the CP world.

D. binata

D. filiformis

More binata, though this pot never really went fully dormant like the others.

Watch out for the filiformis, they have a habit of growing in the warm weather, and then dying when it gets cold again.

Very true, luckily though they are the weediest of my plants. Plus the larger plants you see are only what was transplanted from my mini bog last year. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of seeds that fell into the soil in the months leading up to winter. I'm expecting a large flush of plants once spring actually comes.
