A small fly is held at the distal end of a Sundew leaf which is curling over it.
A small #fly is held by the digestive mucilage on #Sundew (Drosera) hairs. The leaf curls to cover the corpse while it is digested.

Rosettes of sticky, green & pink colored plants, throwing up spikes of snowy white, star shaped flowers.
A human index finger next to the same white, star shaped flowers from the last photo, demonstrating their small size. The flowers are only about half the size of an index fingernail.
Drosera micrantha is well deserving of the name. These are adult plants & they’re absolutely tiny if you can’t tell.

New video on the YouTube! Midweek plant highlight, this time on Drosera menziesii, a tuberous species that's also beginner friendly!

Drosera anglica “British Columbia” is flowering again!
For some reason the temperate versions have been a bit more reluctant to bloom for me but this form seems a bit more willing.
#drosera #sundew #carnivorousplants #plants #botany
One of the Drosera auriculata in bloom. Will it set seeds this time? Unsure, this particular one doesn’t seem very willing to do so…but since it grew with no issues and no burned shoot tips I have high hopes for daughter tubers at least.

Another highlight today: Drosera gigantea! It earns its name when mature, making many-branching almost treelike growth exceeding 3 feet tall, and inch-plus tubers that can be nearly 3 feet below ground to avoid desiccating.
#drosera #sundew #carnivorousplants #plants #botany
Missed the first, but not the second: Drosera pulchella “orange flower, red center.”
Pygmies have been giving a lot of trouble the past couple years, but a few have been stable even with repotting. This is one of the happiest.

A phylogeny showing that Drosera anglica (2n = 40) has a subgenome from the Drosera linearis (2n = 20) lineage and a subgenome from the Drosera rotundifolia (2n = 20) lineage with photos of Drosera linearis with long, narrow leaves, Drosera rotundifolia with wider than round leaves, and Drosera linearis with intermediate, oblong leaves.

It was a Twix design for Valentine's Day
I'll be honest - I forgot about my account here..
#Sundew #Willow #ValentinesDay
Back in bloom: Drosera cistiflora! The spectacular South African species that has the largest flower in the genus. I hoped the other pot keeping pace with it would follow suit, but that bud aborted, though I still hold hopes for salmon and purple

Drosera Andromeda, a plant currently available in my Shop. If you can’t grow the touchy schizandra, its hybrid is a lot more forgiving.

Haven’t shared much in a while, so here’s a sexy plant closeup:

Three #photos from the large #terrarium. First is my little #snail, the second is is a new #plant of the #sundew I found at out #cabininthewoods at #breiset and the third is just a fun little new #moss #sprout from dead moss. And a couple of #springtails.
A hapless insect has fallen foul of sticky feet on a Sundew plant in my garden (it has been rescued, as the plant didn't manage to make use of its catch!).

I had my final #Weretober prompt marked as "Surprise" because a) I had a really weird idea, and b) I wasn't sure I could pull it off. 😅
But I'm happy with how she turned out - meet the were-sundew!

Can anyone confirm whether I should decapitate my Sundew's flower or not?
Some online say yes, otherwise, the plant dies or severely slows growth for the next year.
Others say leave it.
Thank you.
