can anybody ID this sundew? it popped up in my sundew pot, i only have capensis and filiformis in there, then this guy showed up like a week ago.
there's like 4 of them that's coming up. they're about 1/4 of an inch
Since nearly all sundews start out with rounded leaves, before taking adult form, it's possible that they are capensis. Right now they look like D. brevifolia, but that's not realistic.
From what I've seen, most dews usually get characteristics of the adults around that stage. I can tell you that it's not D. capensis, because if it was, the leaves would be more drawn out and erect. I don't know what D. filiformis seedlings look like, although that sort of says D. rotundifolia to me.
It could be that that LFS had D. rotundifolia seeds when collected, and now they're sprouting for you.
Man I wish the bags of dried LFS had something other than sedge seeds! I keep wondering why there aren't any accidental rotundifolia or intermedia in there.
This is a very old picture (3 years old maybe), but it's of a D. capensis seedling. You can see that upper's and mine are of roughly the same size and are very different. Mine has mildly erect stems and more elongated, curling leaves.
ima guess what drosera said, it shows characteristics of a young Rotundifolia or Intermedia, and i have had seeds come in LFS...its not all that uncommon, but im almost sure its not capensis, due to the fact ive grown pleanty from seed and never have i seen them with the round leaves at that point....It is more than likely Rotun, Intermedia, or a form of Spatulata
