Help ID Drosera thread

I had grown these from seeds (courtesy of steve) and got mixed up after transplanting. These must be one of these three:
D. Spatulata 'Giant'
D. Spatulata 'Tamlin'
D. Tokeiosis

These look to be..

These could be Drosera spatulata ‘Giant’ on the left
I think I see some spatulata ‘Tamlim’ on the right

Hard to be sure but these both could be Drosera tokaiensis

Open flowers will help positively identify which is what.
 
Yes the first pic on the right is indeed tamlin. I guess that's easier to figure out, with longer and thinner leaves. The other two I can't really tell.

Found this Drosera sp. growing in my Utricularia calycifida bin. May I please get an ID?

Uhoh. My pot of capillaris does not look like this. My main pot dried out a while ago and is still recovering (many died but I'm holding hope for the ones that still have green centers), but looking at old photos, it used to look like this.

+1 for this being capillaris
 
I purchased some seeds on Ebay from a guy named Lokkit and he is a reputable source. He sold the seed to me as D.capillaris from Boiling Springs.,NC. I grew them and this is what they turned out like under my LED lights.

I put them out in full sun and now currently look like this.

I heard that the species is highy variable.

I gave Willy some seed as well and he said they didn't look like D.capillaris seed to him under the Microscope.
 
Wait for the seeds. Willy has a good catalogue of what the seeds look like, and will definitely help narrow it down to a specific one.

Most of my plants are labelled well but this one snuck through the cracks somehow. It was struggling along in the greenhouse for the Summer, recently brought it in and put it under grow lights with a humidity dome and it has taken off. May have originally come from a batch of seed from @Lloyd Gordon? If I collect seed from it later this Winter, will give some away. Lots of little plantlets in this container.

If it’s nidiformis X venusta its flower stalk should be very sticky and glandular, both are sticky, also have only 3-5 flowers per stalk.

it’s not definitely not pure Drosera nidiformis as it’s leaves grow upright.

if it’s a Drosera spatulata which also look similar to your picture it can have anywhere between 5-20 flowers on a mature stalk.

My Dorsera venusta for comparison.
