Wet and sticky

We last saw Drosera growing in the flat terrain and well-drained sandy soil of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. This situation couldn't have been more different—a rock face in western North Carolina that looks to be more or less permanently wet thanks to a seep a bit higher up—but there we found a small population of sundews.



I'm not qualified to tell one Drosera from another, but apparently D. rotundifolia is the only sundew found in the North Carolina mountains.
