Drosera recommendations

I want to buy some sundews, because I can't buy any neps for a while

I made a list of some sundews that looks nice, but I don't know if they are easy or require dormancy or any weird growth methods like strafication.
D. aliciae
D. venusta
D. binata something - one that doesn't require a dormancy
D.madagascarensis
D.admiralis- forgot how it's spelled
D.slackii

Does anyone know any other sundews besides these. I don't want pgymies or any that require dormancy.
 
D. scorpioides is technically a pygmy but I think it's a worthy exception if only for its interesting form. I don't think any of the binata strains need dormancy, although they'll slow down if you let them. D. binata dichotoma gets huge, in my experience - I would recommend one of the smaller ones like D. binata multifida. Or the dwarf form that Bugsy grows, I've been wanting to give one of those a try myself. If you have space in your Nep enclosure, D. prolifera has interesting foliage and multiplies quickly by budding offsets from the end of each flower stalk - kept near plenty of moist LFS, it's pretty much unstoppable.

I have D.scorpiodes. I meant sundews that I don't have currently. I'm mostly interested in D.venusta and D.slackii, they seem like big sundews. Are they easy?
