Day 066/23. Watering the plants.
This is my Drosera Capensis, or Cape Sundew. A macro shot after it has been given a spray of water.
The 5cm long leaves are green and covered with red, sticky, glandular hairs, which trap and digest insect prey. The red is the sticky, the clear is the freshly sprayed water. The picture is probably about 3mm top to bottom.
The Cape Sundew is a clumping, perennial carnivorous plant, to 15cm in height producing basal rosettes of linear-oblong to spoon-shaped leaves, long on a short stem. The extra picture shows the full plant.
