Drosera Menziesii: Flower enjoy a very rare view

Drosera Menziesii: Flower enjoy a very rare view
The small group I have that are real wild plants and they get treated the very same as the plants out in the wild. This is a flower very few would ever see if ever as they are way out in the bush living on the wild rocks of the area.

In the 5 years I have had this group this is the very first time its flowered. So what is different this has been a very wet less sunny winter than we have had for a very long time. flowers only last open for a "Day" bottom one I noted open on a day i went to work but was closed by the time I got home.hidden behind the left top petal is another slowly coming out. So three flowers. Sorry Ipernity only shows one PIP on the photos but you can open below and worth the read of this unique group of Natural bonsai's.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosera_menziesii

my flowers are 100% not pink but pure white.

Borya constricta Churchill

Drosera Menziesii: open out large after reading below.

summer cloths they all but die in the heat of summer but sleep till the winter rains wake them up.

Autumn ( Summer colour)

This is not found in the city only out in the wild they live on very poor soil nitrogen deficient but they make up for that by the insects mostly so tiny you would walk past them and never see them. this is shot with Macro lens so it looks bigger that it really is. .
