This sundew is a state-endangered plant. It is similar to Drosera tracyi but is smaller, red and grows in more sandy sites only in Bay and Washington counties in Florida. The nearest populations are in South Carolina and its range extends northward into Canada.

Gulf Sundews, also known as Dew Threads, Drosera filiformis. The leaves are covered with short stalks bearing a drop of sticky sap on their tips. They dew catch the light, don't they? The tall things with the white tops are called Hat Pins, Eriocaulon compressum. These species often grow together along with the pitcher plants, other sundews, Bog Buttons and the Bog Bachelor-Button. The last two look nothing alike, however. I'll have to get you some pictures.

Also, I will be posting more pictures of the Dew Threads and their flowers, but not today.

You should look at the large size if you have a minute: farm4.static.flickr.com/3405/4605450628_ee9fcab88f_o.jpg

Drosera filiformis is one of the many carnivorous plants that occur in the southeastern US. This is a close-up of one of the filamentous leaves that has glandular trichomes that secrete a sticky solution that acts as an insect trap. I used backlighting from the sun to get the starburst effect for the sticky blobs.

Some sundews over-winter in the form of hibernacula or winter leaves. These belong to the species Drosera filiformis var. traceyi, a native of the southeastern United States.
