Sundew Capensis flower!

Gardening freak!
One of my Capensis I got about a month ago! Flower is about 1/4 inch in diameter:

The camera is a Canon A630, it does great macros. I just got it about 2 months ago.
The flowers open up but not for long. They open almost like tulips, open in the day,close at night. Sometimes they close at various times of the day.
 
Haha I loved my first, but I cut them off from now on.
 
I was in denial about the whole 'capensis being a weed thing,' until I found some little ones growing with one of my pygmy sundews...what did I do? I transplanted them into my 'capensis forest in progress!' perhaps I'm still in denial?...or maybe I'm just evil! :devil:
 
About as impressive as the D. adelae flower pic!

Thanks Jim. I love my new camera. Those were hand held photos too, no tripod.
