Thanks, The Green stuff is live NZ sphagnum moss.

Great looking plants.

Max are you sure on the ID of the D. glabripes? It doesn't look like any of the examples I've seen or my plant. It looks more like Drosera glabripes x aliciae

There is some controversy if some plants circulating as D. glabripes are actually mislabled. See this thread on South African Drosera

Description on Omnisterra.com of D. glabripes

My Drosera glabripes "Mt Hermanus" circa 12/06 (clickable thumbnails)

circa 5/07 (about 3.5" tall in photo it's now 7" tall)

Thanks, hmm... I got it labeled as D. glabripes and never really thought to much about whether it was correct or not. Ill probably wait and see if its starts to climb and if it dosent it may be glabripes x aliciae.
