OK... definately not filiformus

I have been growing some seedlings from scratch thinking they were D. filiformis since that is the only seed I have sown with threadlike leaves. But I noticed this morning a flower on my 8 month old plant. Definately not filiformis. I have sown other seeds, but none labeled anything close to what I see below. Is this a byblis? I have been growing it as a baby filiformis and it is now growing in about 8 hours of direct sun. Looks like I may need to rethink that. It rained the other day so it is a little lack luster now. I can assure you it was pretty dewing prior to that and catching plenty of tiny bugs.

Thanks. Just did some quick research because I really have had no desire to get a byblis to this point and it looks like I am OK in 8 hours of direct sun and it is an annual so collect the seeds!

Do they self pollinate pretty well?
 
Thats D. indica "Green form". Looks like its having a rough time.
 
Yes, it does look like indica and I forgotten that I got indicia seed around the same time as I planted my filiformis (freebie in a trade) and they were in the cells right next to it so probably just missed thier mark when being sprinkled onto the soil.

Thanks!
 
Didn't notice the flower. :-)) Sure way of knowing whether it is or not.
 
:) At least now I know what to look for when the ones I got from DrWurm get bigger.
