wazzup!!
I was in Lowes a few days ago buying a sheet of plexiglass for my greenhouse. On the way out I spotted some CP's in the garden center. I got 2 sundews.
One is D. adelae, the other is this one.

Here's another pic showing a seed stalk and a flower stalk.

Anyone know what it is?
 
Let there be light!  Post a pic of it after a month under some good lighting and you'll be able to identify it no problem.

  The way it looks right now reminds me of D. aliciae x capensis (one of my favourite Drosera hybrids).
 
Hey, for once I'm going to have to disagree with the spatulata assessment! It just doesn't have the spatula shape and the stem is too wide.
 
I don't think it's either spatulata or aliciae
heres my D. aliciae

This plant doesn't look like either one.
shokuchuu saying it looks like D. capensis x aliciae might be right, it does look like it might have capensis in it.
 
Both Christian and Seandew are very experienced growers.
I would listen to them. Anyway D. aliciae was my first guess,too.

Cheers,

Hi,

If Drosera are grown under too little light, they can become very atypical. The plant in the first picture do look different to what i know as D. aliciae, but i think it is because they are etiolated. Wait another month or two and post one more picture. I'm sure, they will look more like Drosera aliciae the more light they get. If not, we can start this discussion from the beginning

Here is a picture from my plants.

OK I'll take your word for it and let it grow in the sun by the window. In a month I'll post another pic.
It is in a small greenhouse in front of an east facing window that, right now, gets about 5 hours direct sun and then bright shade for the rest of the day. Every plant in there seems to like it.
