08.31.2020 Round-leaved Sundew

Posted on August 31, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Round-leaved Sundew-Drosera rotundifolia is a small carnivorous plant found in wetlands. They were not flowering quite yet on Sunday but hopefully will be this weekend as many had buds though they were still tight. All those “dew” drops are sticky … Continue reading →
