Gotta watch that rotundastickya almost as bad a D. spatuhaha. It gets around.

@PsychoSarah - Were the sarr seeds viable? I'd rather have living sarr seed than dead Drosera seeds, which I've ended up with too many times.
I'm thinking the mystery plant could maybe be D. x beliziana?
At least it was an actual drosera. I once got some free "drosera pretty rosette" seeds when I bought another plant online. Turns out they were mislabeled so badly, I don't even understand how it could have happened; they were sarracenia seeds. Good thing I had seen drosera seeds before and decided to look up what I actually had, because apparently whoever packaged them up had never seen them. Gosh, in comparison sarracenia seeds are absolutely gigantic compared to drosera seeds, I don't know how the two could possibly get confused.
Stipules free or lacking.
Scape glabrous; stipules conspicuous, free
Flowers white, 7-8 mm. wide; seeds irregularly and densely covered with
long papillae, 0.7-1 mm. long. -> 5. D. intermedia
Flowers pink, 10 mm. wide; seeds papillose-corrugated with 14-16 ridges,
0.4-0.5 mm. long. -------------> 6. D. capillaris
Scape glandular-pubescent; stipules absent; seeds crateriform, 0.3-0.4 mm.
long. ---------------------------> 7. D. brevifolia
But one thing we are certain.... it's not a D. fulva! Seriously, no sign of a flower stalk yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one emerges this summer.
Excellent, that narrows down the field. If it sprouted from seed it could be one of Dr. Frankensnyder's hybrid experiments. Let's see what the seeds and flower parts look like.
As Tamlin says Dr. Frankensnyder's plants will cause much consternation with future CP growers and taxonomists when the origin of them are long forgotten.
