                  @strongylodon haven't seen sundews in the wild for decades. Brilliant that you have and great photos as always.

                  Thankyou @On the Levels, they are in so many places around here as there are many boggy areas although they have struggled as even those are drying up.

                      @Michael Hewett did you find that the bed straw gave a lovely scent? We have been in wildflower meadows and been amazed at the scents around us and then realised it was coming from the bed straws. Brilliant.

                      I didn't notice a scent @On the Levels. It was on the roadside in an industrial estate.
