Drosera latifolia
In one relatively short stretch of the road on the plateau of Itatiaia National Park there’s a dense population of this species. Unfortunately somebody had dug trenches to drain the water, thus destroying much of the population. I was shocked to see the ignorance of people behind this. This is after all a national park, […]

Smalsoldogg (Drosera anglica)
På myren som omkranser Sjølitjernet er det svært tett med både rundsoldugg og smalsoldugg. Kanskje er det også noen dikesoldugg her også, men den er vanskelig å skille fra smalsolduggen da den kan se ut som en litt pjuskete utgave av den.
Rundsoldogg (Drosera rotundifolia)
På myren som omkranser Sjølitjernet er det svært tett med soldugg. Jeg gikk i shorts, og for å ta bilder av disse må man på kne. Når jeg reiste meg i gjen var knær og ben full av slimete solduggsekret. Neste gang blir det langbukser!
Rundsoldogg (Drosera rotundifolia)
I blomstringstiden er solduggen avhengig av bestøvingstjenester fra insekter den normalt fortærer. For at insektene ikke skal sette seg i “solduggen”, skyter blomsterstanden relativt sett veldig høyt. I år har været vært mye tørrere enn i fjor, da myren rundt Sjølitjernet var oversvømt det meste av sommeren, så nå er sjansen der for å ta […]
Roraima Sundew (Drosera roraimae)
The otherwise leathal (to insects) sundew has a different need every now and then – pollination and propagation! What to do? As it is unable to turn off its traps, it simply produces a tall stem with tantalizing flowers…. Unfortunatley I don’t find this particularly convincing, as the flower for some reason is always pointing […]
Roraima Sundew (Drosera roraimae)
Unique to the Roraima tepui and neighboring tepuis, and is widespread and common here. It resembles the ones growing in European bogs, but has evolved independently. Again nature comes up with the same solution to the same problem despite insurmountable divides. Roraima has little to no nutrients as there is hardly any soil, and the […]
