I've had this plant flower for me before, but I never caught an open flower.

However, although the flowers are pretty, I think the flower stalk is the best thing about this species. Now if I could only get my hands on Drosera chimaera... fuzzy stalks AND a latifolia-esque growth habit? Yes please! :lol:

And here's how it looked a month and a half ago. As you can see, flowering definitely takes a lot out of it. Worth it though!
