  1. Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis) in flower. Native to the Cape region of South Africa, this sundew is one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow, and is almost impossible to kill (I've tried). It is so prolific that it is considered a weed in commercial carnivorous plant nurseries.

  2. A few days ago, on a walk in South India, a close friend & awesome naturalist, casually pointed out 2 species of carnivorous plants, Sundews

    Drosera indica (Indian Sundew) , & D burmanii (Tropical sundew)

    For me, this was a big natural history moment, my first ever look at wild carnivorous plants.

    Just so awesome & beautiful
