Drosera binata |
This carnivorous plant Drosera binata is blooming. Just like the other carnivorous plants in my collection, it's blooms that attract the pollinators are well above the sticky tentacles that attract and digest other flying insects.  |

This is the first time I have seen this plant bloom and I think it's interesting how it compares to the other Drosera (sundews). Here multiple blooms open at the same time where the Drosera capensis blooms open one at at time (see picture below).

Both types of Drosera catch and digest plenty of flying insects. Below you can see some flying insects stuck in the sticky tentacles of the Drosera binata.
