Sundew magic


It was fun to see very small Sundew plants yesterday, growing in Cremona/Elkton bog, north west of the city. You have to get partially submerged to get photos of this fascinating, carnivorous plant, LOL! Not exactly easy to get a good photo, I find, but this one came out OK. Does that look like a tiny bug up in the top, left quarter of the image? (Taken with my mcaro lens, so very much enlarged). In reality, it is very tiny.
"The carnivorous sundew plant, botanical name Drosera, has about 130 species. All of the species of the sundew plant are beautiful and many look like fireworks, but they are deadly to the insects that fly near to them. One thing that all carnivorous sundew plants do have is the gel-like substance at the tips of the tentacles that cover the leaves. This gel is a sticky substance that the insects that fly too near the plant get stuck on. The plant can then eat it. The many species of the sundew plant can be found all around the world, on every single continent. This is unusual for a plant because most carnivorous plants are found only in one or two regions of the world because of the different climates that they must live in. The plant is called sundew because of the gel like substance on the tentacles. The gel makes the plants look as if they have morning dew on them all day long, especially when it glistens in the sun."
