:O Wow it is a pleasant surprise!! Aren't they supposed to be hard to flower too? Can you get a shot of the whole plant too please?
 
Nice photo Jim!

Not hard to flower at all if given bright, indirect light or place 5-6 inches below a florescent light.
I also from time to time crush up a little fish food flakes and sprinkle a little on my sundews to fertilize them.
 
From earlier in the month

From several weeks ago, after removing it from a pot of D. capensis:

Not sure when this was taken, but I don't think it was this year

Related to the D. adelae is the D. prolifera:

Looking real good Jim!
 
They flower rather easily. Getting seed is another matter. The white flower form seems to have disappeared from cultivation.
 
I'll settle for the plantlets!
