VoF Week: Drosera peltata from Ghangriya Govindghat route:
Drosera peltata from Ghangriya Govindghat route
pls validate
This was common in grass meadows there
Oh that is a good find.
very nice pictures
always gives me the creepies to think that this plants is a carnivore… but oh so pretty ONE question… why does it seem to have a white flower bud at the very apex? or what is it? Because that seems to be the only half open flower with white petals, the other three are flower buds and fifth lowest in fruit. Very simple answer: because the plants grow among grasses and it needs the flower to be visible to to possible pollinators hence it needs to raise the flowers above grass height. Secondly, do you think if the flowers are close to the dangerous glands then insect will be able to pollinate before getting trapped?

I was delighted to see…. this being my first sight of such a wonderful plant…. …identified this as Drosera peltata….I hope the id is correct…. this plant was about 20-25 cm in height, with almost spreading branches… only flowering shoot emerging out … I have seen insects sticking to the tentacles….I hope you can see few in posted pics… Yes …, I saw the insects stuck on the flowers in the 6th photo. …actually we did declare it as Find of the Tour…
