Identifying a Mystery Sundew: Drosera capensis 'Narrow Leaf'

Craig bought a sundew at a local show, told it's a US native. Looks like D. capensis but larger with red tentacle bases. Could it be D. linearis?

It's Drosera capensis (African Cape Sundew)

Photo confirms narrow-leaf D. capensis (5–7 inches across). Not a US native. Subtropical, prefers 60–75°F but adapts widely with adequate water.
