Hey all,
I unboxed my Dionaea m. Ginormous from CalCarn to find a tiny sundew next to the flytrap. For reference, the flytrap diameter is about the same as a quarter’s. Could you guys identify it? I’m thinking D. Aliciae, but it could by something else. Thanks!

It's too soon to be able to provide a positive ID.
There are several species with wedge shaped leaves.

I’m glad it’s not a capensis and possibly and species I don’t have! I only started growing CP’s a year or two ago, but I have expanded my collection quite a bit.

I agree with Shadow, it is too early to tell.
However, heres a couple common species that it could be:
Spatulata
capillaris
and to a lesser extent:
aliciae
venusta
natalensis

I was thinking Intermedia. They have a tendency to spread eeverywhere. Just my uneducated guess.

The hitchhiker has gotten considerably bigger, but I still cannot positively ID it. Any ideas on what species it is?

Wow. What kind of lights is that under? It sure grew fast and I agree, Aliciae.

It’s not under any type of grow lights. I’ve just been growing it outside in full sun and has done pretty well.

I hope mine takes off like that. It had been under lights for close to a year. I just acclimated it outside a few weeks ago. Slowly trying to get everything out of greenhouse to the outdoors.
