Scented sundew

The weather cleared this afternoon, to a fine bright day, so we (as in me and Mishy) went for a walk in the Park.

Walked far too far, and with the wrong camera.

It's pretty boggy in the Park, as we have had so much rain. But I was talking to the chicken producer from the South Coast (Inman Valley) and he said their dams were only half full and they seemed to have missed all the rain. So it's not very widespread at all, which really surprised me.

I saw common brown butterflies - they are not due to fly until late August. Yet another reminder that the weather is playing tricks on us this year.

I found this delightful little sundew, all on its own. They are just coming into flower and will remain fairly common throughout winter and early Spring.

Here's the info:

Drosera whittakeri (Scented Sundew, Whittaker's Sundew) is a sundew that is native to South Australia.
