Return to the Round-leaved Sundew
The Round-leaved Sundew is my favourite plant, although only tiny they look striking when seen up close. They are just coming in to flower so I will be having another look next week.

Round-leaved Sundew
I set off this morning with the intention of looking for Round-leaved Sundew, one of Britain's few carnivorous plants, particular if there was not much else happening.
So after the usual walk up Flash Lane and a brief spell at Beeley Traingle I set off on the sundew hunt. I had tried several wet areas on the moors and had very wet feet before I finally found it..
The plant in the upper picture has caught a small insect on the sticky globules on its leaves.
The Sundew is described as scarce in Derbyshire which I guess it must be due to the limited availability of its wet moorland habitat.
