Looks like some kind of sundew :-/

Tom

While I found quite a few that were similar, Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) seemed to be the closest to your example. :)

SwampDonkey

Yup, its round leaved sundew :)

Its not a plant that stands out in a crowd, you really have to be looking sharp for it. Usually, up my way, its found with pitcher plants. They are both carnivorous plants, feeding on insects. Sometimes, they are found on bouldery terrain too.

Ours live with hooded pitcher plants too. Most of the sundews I've seen are, I think, capillaris and are quite small. They hide beneath the foliage of Deer Tongue, dandelion and clumps of wire grass.  If you aren't looking for them you'll miss them. They are usually about the size of your thumb nail or a little bigger......maybe like a quarter even.

SwampDonkey

Yup, same size here. They can eat all the flies they want too :D :D
