about 7mm,they inhabit white sandy Banksia heathlands,we found this one while looking at pygmy droseras,it was on white sand then jumped to these grasstree fronds which made photography difficult in the breeze,it did not deter him from his signaling though,an unforgetable few moments !!!
These small carnivorous plants grow to around 4.5 cm high. FIowers are whitish to less that 5 mm across. We thought it was unusual to see these pygmy drosera with the occasional branching stems towards the apex.

Droseraceae: Drosera barbigera
The leaves or lamina on this Pygmy Drosera are very distinctive in that they are long and thin. The flower is a beautiful orange with black centre with black ovary, stamens and styles. White pollen, just to make things different.
It grows in masses in laterite gravel soils and is quite spectacular to see.

Drosera miniata Another of our lovely pygmy Drosera plants. It closes up at night by folding its petals over so it looks like a little parcel on a stick.
