Thanks Daren
 
The first looks similar to D. venusta, whereas the second is most likely not a tuberous sundew, but rather D. madagascariensis.

I'd've gone with D. brevifolia and D. mad.... but then again, I'm more in the the D. roundandstickia group. don't go by me!
 
Jeff,
I feel like making a big separate post about this topic here, but according to Christian Dietz (utricularia.net owner) D. dielsiana is extremely rare in cultivation, and it seems no one has it. Also, he says that most people have labeled their D.natalensis plants as D. dielsiana. He has some plant anatomy to back his claim. Check out this link: http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31529
Also, the plant I posted above grew into this once it matured:

thank you for your help CPaholic
so Last one is confirmed as a D. Mad? or what an then the last one is for sure D.natalensis ?
 
I'd say that is correct, but once again, you'll probably have to wait for flowers on the D. natalensis before you can get a 99% id on it.
