So 
back in May I noticed that my 
Pinguicula gigantea had developed a second growth point. It also started blooming 
back in April. Well, it's been growing and blooming continuously and doing great, and just the other day I noticed that it's split again. What a great plant!

  | 
| Another little plantlet on the right. | 
  | 
| And a cute little flower up top! | 
Of course, now I 
really have to divide and repot this plant. Maybe that will be my next big chore.
After taking these pictures, I decided to take a second look at all my other plants to see if there were some other offsets I hadn't noticed. I found a few!
Pretty sure this is the first proper offset from any of my 
Drosera capensis 'Albino'.
  | 
| Of course, I'm already awash in D. capensis 'Albino', but that's fine. | 
I'm not sure if the little plant here is a 
D. capensis red or just a stray 
D. capensis 'Albino' or typical seed that found its way in here.
  | 
| The tentacles look awfully pale to be the red form of D. capensis but I guess we'll see. | 
Of course, my two largest 
D. capensis typicals are offsetting like crazy.
  | 
| This is my first-ever carnivorous plant and it's just chugging along. | 
  | 
| This plant is really glad to not be suffering outside in the wind. | 
I don't remember if this 
Drosera adelae had the offset when I repotted it, but it's certainly gotten bigger. Also, it's appreciating having been recently fed.
  | 
| D. adelae responds very well to food. I'll be looking for a growth spurt in the next week. | 
The 
Drosera tokaiensis plants in the first pic below have been growing together for a while, but the one on the right is blooming for the first time. The 
D. x 
tokaiensis sterile hybrid in the second photo may have an offset up front, or it may be a weed, hahahah.
  | 
| This is one of my favorite pots. I like the little plant community here. | 
  | 
| This hybrid has great color and is extremely bloomy. | 
This last is the most exciting though. I was sure I had lost this little 
Drosera madagascariensis seedling, but apparently the roots hung on and have started to grow a little plantlet. It's right there at the base of the dead stem. Awesome!
  | 
| I think D. madagascariensis is one of the cutest sundew species. | 
I've said this before, but I love finding surprises in the collection. It's so much fun!
