Drosera capillaris "Long-Arm" and "typical" forms~ Sundews, Carnivorous Plants
Drosera capillaris, sometimes referred to as the "pink sundew" is found commonly in the southeastern United States "from Virginia to Florida to Texas. Forms are also known from Central and South America" (page 131 of The Savage Garden).
The leaves can develop red coloration in bright enough lighting, but otherwise will remain yellow-green or yellow-orange. There is also a form that lacks pigment and is referred to as "albino" or "alba" since it's not an official cultivar yet.
Plants do not form hibernacula (dormant buds), but the leaves of "Long-Arm" forms shrink back quite a bit in cooler temperatures. Frequent feeding indoors will help leaves remain as large as possible
Selected quotes from Schnell, Donald E. Carnivorous Plants of the United States and Canada p.69-70:
"D. capillaris is a prostrate rosette averaging 3.5 cm across, but growing up to 7.5 cm in some extreme southern locations. (However, if grown indoors and left unfed, you may notice the growth shrinks back to remain at 1.25 or 2 cm in diameter).
"The petioles are of moderate length, 1.0-2.5 cm."
"the flowers are either pink or white, the former somewhat more frequent."
