Yellow Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia flava) and Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) habitat, Croatan National Forest, North Carolina.
With regard to sundews in Western Australia it is redundant to call many species rare as there are so many locally endemic species. What is rare about these photos is capturing flowering plants of D monticola which are quite underrepresented in literature and on the net.
Droera monticola is restricted to several high elevation peaks in the Stirling Range north of Esperance in WA. For this hike all flowers were closed during the ascent, but a few began to open with enough sun during the descent of the mountain - allowing for these few photos.
