Plant of the Day

Saturday 29 July 2023

On a trip to Shetland I spotted what was probably Drosera rotundifolia (round-leaved sundew) growing amongst sphagnum moss at the edge of a pool. This tiny carnivorous plant catches insects to increase their nitrogen supply using sticky leaves as traps.

Made another little moss bowl thing, it's growing nicely! Hoping the drosera adelae gets redder though, maybe it's not close enough to the light...

Blame it on the Moon.

This is the Drosera binata I've been caring for since +/- 1990 one of the most difficult plants to take a good, in focus picture of that I grow. I had to get out of "Auto Focus" and learn to do it manually. The moon photos I've been taking is where I've been getting my practice. Auto focus always wants to focus on the dirt.

I showed you the bare root dormant transplant of this little pot full last spring. I expected it to just go at the time but it got cranky and slow instead. It should be back to abnormal by next year. My friends use to call it the "Dr. Seuss Plant" because of the way the leaves branch like the antlers on some of the creatures he drew.
