The same thing happened to me last summer! :-( The squirrels decieded to make life interesting, and I am still sorting through it all, trying to keep it straight. Even in flower, these are tricky little debuggers to ID, but I will help you to the best of my limited ability. Since most of what I grow I have only grown for the past single season, I have a lot of internalizing to do regarding this section of Droseracae.
 
Here are the pics! all I know is that they came from tamilin (THANKS!

) and 1 should be pygmy drosera #1, pygmy drosera #2, and Drosera pulchella x niticlula ssp. omissa

I know, they're not the best pics, but I hope it helps. all of them have flower stalks on them, but you can't see them, I will post pics of the flowers when they open
 
The top 2 photos look like D. ericksoniae x pulchella, but one is likely to be nitidula x pulchella. The bottom one is likely to be D. pygmaea, or possibly D. occidentalis var. microscapa. When they flower I can tell you more. D. ericksoniae x pulchella has pink flowers, nitidula x pulchella has white flowers with red knobs on the styles. D. pygmaea is easy to recognize too, so not to worry.
