This is another shot from the bog on my place up north. It's a Round-leaved sundew, Drosera rotundifolia. The leaves are only about 1/4" in diameter, so they are tiny. I love the little jewel-like drops of sticky stuff on the hairs, but the insects that get caught in them sure don't--this plant is carnivorous.

Nikon D100, 200mm ED-IF AF f/4 lens.

Awesome! I used to grow these, as well as species from S. Africa. They are unique plants. Great close-up!
