Sundew (Drosera auriculata)

Sundew (Drosera auriculata)

I went back to look for the Sundew today and not only were they still doing well, they were soaked with raindrops from the big rains we’ve had in the last few days. They're very small and would easily be missed by most, but I knew where a clump of them was growing. Sundew are carnivorous plants that derive some or most of their nutrients by trapping and consuming animals such as insects or other arthropods. In New Zealand we have Drosera (sundews) - seven native species - and Utricularia (bladderworts) - three native species ❤️
