Natural carnivourus plant grows in the suburbs of Melbourne Australia


carnivorous plantfound growing in Melbourne! (of all places)
tiny 10mm sundew plants found growingin Melbournes' Churchill NPamongst the moss

A walk in Melbournes Churchill National Park is a delightfull escape from the suburban tedium that now surrounds it. The famous Bell Bird track seems to be closed now which was a real shame. Closer inspection of beds of moss revealed these tiny sundew plants growing on infertile south ward facing slopes that must have been getting some ground seepage to keep them watered. Zoom in these hi res pictures and those plants have been dutifully helping to remove the mosquito menace.
