Drosera capensis ‘Albino’

#Drosera filiformis var. filiformis has established itself in most of its neighbors’ pots. The volunteers seem to look better than the intentionally planted ones. 🙄

This sundew requires a winter dormancy, but it is otherwise very low maintenance. It catches tons of small insects and it flowers throughout the summer. What a delight! 🌸 🌸 🌸
