is this Drosera Capensis?

As others have said, they are definitely not capensis. D. capensis seeds are very fine and thin, lightweight black seeds.. almost thread-like, resembling iron filings or fine pencil graphite sharpenings.

It does look like you have some Sarracenia seeds there (the pale orange/brown ones) but I have no idea what those sprouting white seeds are! They are no carnivorous genus I know of.

Ha, sorry to say they are definitely not Drosera or Sarracenia, certainly not even a carnivorous genus!

Does look remarkably like basil but I wouldn't risk ingesting something I didn't know. Incidentally, do the leaves have an aroma?
