Early spring hike find - Drosera sp.
 
1 Attachment(s)
While checking out a new hiking spot (and checking for morels) I found this instead, growing in a wet open meadow. I think it's Drosera rotundifolia. Hundreds of plants in an area half the size of my living room. For those of you unfamiliar with this plant, it is a carnivore that catches small insects (gnat sized) attracted to the red hairs and drops of dew attached to them. The dew drops are sticky and trap the insect.
