Strange drosera capensis behavior

Lately my Cape Sundew has been throwing out leaves that are arched way too far back. Many times they straighten out once they have competely unfolded, but it just seems odd. For all you who grow Cape Sundews, is this normal? Are the leaves supposed to unfold straight out? I wonder could cause this...
 
Is it flowering?
 
Yes, now that you mention it. It has a stalk that it's shooting up.
 
From what I have read, when they flower it takes a little bit of energy, sot they produce less dew and can also do what you mentioned.
dewy
 
Well mines leaves are never pencil straight. Even when its flowering which it has already done twice this year
 
Whatever the plants growing habit, enjoy it. If it is not dying, enjoy it.
