A pot of Drosera capensis along with a flower of a hitchhiking terrestrial bladderwort, probably Utricularia bisquamata. The flower is about a quarter of an inch across.

A baby Drosera binata #sundew.

A plant that's appearing in large numbers (hundreds) in places on our property where I've never seen them before are Sundew (Drosera sp.), a carnivorous plant.

I suspect that the above average winter rainfall, and the ensuing boggy ground, has encouraged their appearance.

They’ll soon produce a small, pink flower.

Drosera anglica
Great Sundew

Apart from happily catching all those little flying things, it also has pink blooms now.

They look really cute and I like how they are on super long stems so it doesn't eat the insects trying to pollinate it. :D

Looks like the sundew seeds that I sprinkled on a spare pot of sphagnum moss germinated.
Sorry for fuzzy photo, they are still very small and the moss was in the bottom of a glass - it all made sense at the time, I’m sure…

#HousePlants this morning…

An #airplant ready to bloom, #nepenthes pitcher, mounding #sundew, and tiny volunteer sundew.

This strange-looking plant is Drosera filiformis, commonly known as the thread-leaved sundew, native to Northern America. It looks beautiful when unfolding its sticky leaves in spring and will soon start catching insects as this is a carnivorous plant. I grow it in a little bog habitat in a larger container, together with other hardy and half-hardy sundews. #plants #sundew

Been checking out the little moss colonies in the bog pots. Turns out some of them are harboring carnivores.

#Gemmae #Sundew #Drosera #DroseraAdmirabilis #houseplants My favorite sundew is making flowers and making gemmae.

Afternoon, all. Another hot one. I think I might do some #Voluntrove on #Trove later to recover from my awful phone chores.

How’s your day going?

Today’s photo is another #CarnivorousPlant from partner’s collection. This is a Cape Sundew, Drosera capensis. These generally have purple flowers, but partner also has one with no anthocyanin, which has white flowers, and no red colouring in the leaves and blobs. #Drosera #Sundew #GardeningAu

A little bit of glistening color in the garden this Monday afternoon. #SunDew #carnivorousPlants

Finally, upgraded our window with bio weapons against flying pests. A tiny Drosera, or sundew, and a Venus flytrap. That one's rather small too but it already grows a flower stem!

They will combine well with newly planted chilies that often have lots of tiny flies in their soil at the start. I only use peat-free planting substrate for them.

Bon appétit Audrey.
