SUNDEW - DROSERA CAPENSIS
Yesterday I posted about Drosera capensis Alba, a sundew, where you can find a link and comments about caring for this plant. Today this is a red version of Drosera capensis which I bought at the same time. In the bottom image you can see clearly that a tiny fly is held captive by the sticky tentacles of one of the plant's leaves. Bear in mind that the plants are only small right now and the leaves, from which the tentacles grow, are only about 2cm in length.
Believe it or not, the colours in these images have not been digitally altered. I took them on my living room window bottom and the green of the lawn outside the window has been picked up.
