I'm not sure what kind of sundew this is in my bog garden. It came with one of my sarracenia pitcher plants. And would like a confirmation on the ID of the little ones around it. I believe they are D. intermedia...

Those are some interesting looking plants.
The first one looks like Drosera filiformis, possibly D. tracyii. They are both Threadleaf Sundews.
They look similar except for coloration and size.
D. filiformis has red glands (With adequate light) and grows 6 to 9 inches tall.
D. tracyii has all Green glands and grows 12 to 15 inches tall.

The second picture looks like a hybrid, rather than pure Drosera intermedia.
D. intermedia usually has a much thinner petiole.
It could be a filiformis/intermedia hybrid.
Wait until Summer and take a new picture when its form is stable.
It should be easier to ID then.
Right now, it's coming out of dormancy.

That's my two cents worth.

Good growing,
Mike

Thank you Mike!

I would say the first one is almost certainly filiformis. I can already see the tentacle color. I'm wondering if the second one might actually be rotundifolia but intermedia or an intermedia hybrid would be more likely. It will be easier to tell once the plant has produced a few more leaves.

That sundew is a Drosera filiformis.

Thank you nimbulan! I now agree too on the identity of my noid sundew. Lol. I had never seen a Filiformis coming out of it hibernacula before, as I am fairly new to this joyous hobby!
Hmmm....an intermedia hybrid? That would be awesome! Rotundifolia would also be great too. I had agree with, I think it was Mike, that said intermedia normally has thinner petioles. Going to go study some pics of rotundifolia. Lol.
Thanks

That looks completely different than drosera filiformis. Filiformis has long thread-like leaves with no petioles.

Looks a lot like filiformis to me.

no this is what filiformis looks like

The plant is coming out of dormancy, that’s why it looks odd. It’ll look normal once it grows some more leaves.

No this is what filiformis should look like. The one on the left, middle is red, back right is tracyii, but thanks for playing anyways

I guess that image that I found is a bad image? edit: Yes, that's a hybrid between drosera intermedia and drosera filiformis.

Yep, that's the hybrid more commonly known as hybrida. It's a great little hybrid to grow too
