Cape Sundew (Crosera copensis)

The long leaves on this plant are covered in transparent and sticky 'dew drops' and these attract the insects that become trapped and are slowly digested by the enzymes contained in the dew drop.

I have several of these plants growing in pots in my garden during the summer months and in the green house in winter. The pots stand in a tray full of rainwater which keeps them moist.
