Pygmy Drosera
 

A couple pretty bug eaters. #1 Drosera roseana #2 Drosera scorpioides #3 Drosera omissa 'Pink Flower':

Oh! I like #1! Love the color!

Cute little things!

Thanks Tommy! You know, in FL you could grow them outdoors year round......

Btw, my camera technology and skills don't do these little guys justice, particularly the roseana. If the picture was a bit sharper it would be much easier to see that the green centers are full of immature gemmae. Gemmae are a means of asexual reproduction........:biggrin:

Sundews are very cool plants. I've taken pictures of them here in Michigan growing on a quaking bog intersparced with rose pagonias. The same bog had Calapogon and (much later in the year) Spiranthese sp., also pitcher plants. Come to think of it, I haven't visited there in a while, might be a good idea for a late spring / early summer trip.

Considering none of my bog orchids have even broken ground here in SE PA you probably have a while to wait in MI before you see anything!

Yes, about two more months away. Within a couple of hundred yards from the quaking bog in the sphagnum bog are 4 more species of orchid (there may be more, that's all I've found and photographed the times I've been there).

The time I photographed the Drosera and Pogonias the mat was so permeable that by the time I got done setting up and taking the shot I had water coming over the top of my hiking boots.
