Common Butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris)

All the plants on the Keen of Hamar fellfield grow widely spaced out and low to the ground, sheltering from wind and weather between rocks and pebbes.. Common Butterwort is an insectivorous plant whose bright yellow-green leaves secrete a sticky fluid that attracts insects; once trapped, the leaves slowly curl around their prey and digest it.
