I have some extras growing in my Purple Pitcher pot. This is same pot from where I purchased, so I got a little extra i guess:-D.
I know that there is a little Sun dew coming up.
I wanted to know are those other green leaves possibly something or just some other type of crap from the moss?

Thnx
 
The other green leaves just look like weeds.
 
The sundew is D. capensis, can't tell what form from the pic though.
 
The sundew is D. capensis 'typical' or maybe 'alba.' The other plant is a weed

Yeah, looks exactly like my drosera capensis red seedlings, only different color (they are starting to get their color in, but not all of them, wondering if my seeds are mixed).

Most red forms of plants need high light to keep their color, so if you are not providing your plants with enough light that could explain why they are not all red.
 
That, and the genetics of the seedlings. Even if a completely red plant is self-pollinated, there will usually be a few that will have weaker color.
