Hi Jim,

it´s relatively normal for an "annual" Drosera.
After flowering (one or more times) the plants are getting weeker and weeker and than they are dying. They can grow for a few seasons but it´s better to have always some seedlings (like with D. sessilifolia). Normally it´s a relatively invasive species (i have them growing in a lot of pots arround the "motherplants").

Best regards,

Dani
