We also have sundew in Denmark. In danish: soldug. But I donโ€™t remember having seen it!

Itโ€™s a very good at blending into its surroundings because of its small size. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks for this post Anna, iyhad no idea it was here in Finland. No bog here but perhaps it might be found at the lake's edge - I'll keep my eye out from now on!

Sundews can be found in unexpected places, like small boggy patches along a lakeshore. I hope you come across one someday! Thank you Jonathan! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Its been a while since I last saw some sundew - going to a place where it might be weekend after next - so I will think about your article and the poem when I hopefully see it.

Thanks for sharing Anna, this was a facinating read, very interesting ๐Ÿ™‚ I have not seen this Drosera in Norway, a bit strange when its growing in Finland with a simular climate?!๐Ÿง๐Ÿง. Its a very beautiful plant.

Thank you for your comment Tony. Itโ€™s a very small plant. I took these photos from really close up, which might be a bit misleading. I hope you get to come across it someday.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Nice that you liked it. I enjoy writing about species, and I could easily get absorbed in researching things for days.๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒฟ
