Dew of the Sun

Drosera is the genus of the sundew plants, and also their name in French and Italian. From the Greek δρόσος, drósos, dew. In Latin books about herbs, the plant was called Ros solis, Dew of the Sun. Note that the red extensions are not trichomes; they are tentacles.

Flytrap Seeds

Ripe Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) fruits crack open revealing clusters of black seeds.

Sarracenia flower

A flower in Sarracenia x moorei, Moore's Pitcher Plant. Their long blooming process unfolds in episodes, like a suspense macro documentary.

Cephalotus

Cephalotus follicularis leaves (yes; leaves) wait for a snack with bated breath.

Venus flytrap flower

Dionaea muscipula grows really pretty flowers. Some small bugs enjoy them not paying much attention at whatever happens a few inches below.
