Well been a few since last did a cp post. Even have a bloom or two to show off.....

D. binata

D. adelae

Because I seem to find capensis particularly photogenic

and because most of my capensis are blooming currently

BTW, should anyone be interested, I'm going to be posting capensis for sale in the classifieds sometime this week ... need to thin the herd a mite.

Despite the similarity in appearance, this next genera is not closely related to Drosera at all (not even the same Family)

The following is another type of carnivorous plant. Many members of this genera are aquatic but some are terrestrial. The traps are underground. Ignore the tall dewy plants in the pot. The cp in question here is all those tiny little leaves along the surface of the media. That's a 2 inch pot, btw, just to give you a sense of scale.

One of the little sections of that utric is in bloom. Amusingly enough, considering the size of the leaves, here is the flower stalk:

And a closer look at the flower (about 1cm in length)
