If it was in live sphagnum from Cooks, it could be D. rotundifolia seedling, which is often found popping up in live sphagnum. However, it could also be a stray pygmy Drosera of some kind, which easily spread as gemma. You say, "late last year". Has it grown since?
I noticed the plant late last year growing in the sphagnum, so I transplanted it soon thereafter so it won't get overgrown. I took the picture just a few days ago. It really hasn't grown that much since I noticed it.
The local sphagnum bog here has a lot of D. rotundifolia. They form winter hibernacula and tend to break dormancy in mid-March. Below are some photos taken March 13, 2004 of the bog and its' D. rotundifolia just coming out of dormancy. The plants look quite similar to Homer's and Joseph's.
Excellent. I lose my rotundifolia every winter... they seem to evaporate. This is a very nice suprise indeed!
Regarding the "local bog". A few years ago, I stumpled upon a local government website that discussed low-elevation sphagnum bog environments in Western Washington. The site listed one only 2 miles away
In general, the website gave general locations - to protect the bog, which I'm all in favor for. But the one 2 miles away listed a street intersection! Unfortunatly, the site now has a RiteAid store
I lived here all my life and must have went by this place many times and never know that there were potentially wild CP growing right next door
