Notice how hairy the petioles and emerging growth are

One of the most morphologically diverse species of Drosera and easily one of the most overhated, this species is found in a multitude of locations in the Cape of South Africa. This is one of my favorite clones of capensis. In all regards except for the numerous hairs covering the petioles and emerging growth, this plant is typical. Plants are quick growing and noticeably hairy, and leaves are slightly upright. I'm not sure what the parentage/location of these plants are, but are originally from a seed seller in Greece named "Ellenic" on eBay. While this plant hasn't flowered for me yet, it'll be interesting to see if seedlings share the same fuzzy leaves.
