Drosera capensis able to grow into different varieties?

Okay, so is it possible for a typical Cape sundew to grow into the "Alba" variety, because that's exactly what has happened to mine. They both grow very well with lots of dew, so I know it doesn't have to do with their light. They do have a fungi problem but that's been dealt with, and in a couple of weeks they should recover. Anyone have suggestions on what's going on?

Here are some pics proving my claim.

Don't mind the icy bottle. That's there for temp control. The tank can get to 85 degrees in this warm weather so I place a bottle in there to cool down the temperature. : )

A typical red leaf.

A wrapped up "Alba" leaf. My plants have been growing with "Alba" leaves for about a month and a half now.
