I got a leaf cutting a while back from Mike. I didn't think I was going to get a strike but I got three. Two have rooted and have been potted. The other is still floating around waiting in a root. I may do a give away for the there depending on how the others do. But here is a shot of the two plants.

Looking good.
Looking forward to seeing your giveaway.
Drosera capensis Bain'sKloof is one of my favorite plants, it's so distinctive looking.
My motherplant flowered and produced seed this past Summer.
The fresh seeds germinated quickly.
Here's a shot of the seedlings.
They're growing under a 48 inch Daylight LED tube that's shaped like a T8 fluorescent lamp.

Good growing,
Mike

As they mature, the leaf becomes more strap shaped.
Most of the wide leafed D. capensis have this round or oval shaped leaf when young.

Good growing,
Mike
