Flora.

Add anything to do with plants, trees, etc.

Round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) at Meathop Moss just outside Grange-over-sands last month.

A carnivorous plant. The plant feeds on insects, which are attracted to the glistening drops of mucilage, loaded with a sugary substance, covering its leaves.

It has evolved this carnivorous behaviour in response to its habitat, which is usually poor in nutrients or is so acidic that nutrient availability is severely decreased.

The plant uses enzymes to dissolve the insects – which become stuck to the glandular tentacles – and extract ammonia (from proteins) and other nutrients from their bodies.

The ammonia replaces the nitrogen that other plants absorb from the soil, and plants that are placed in a high-nitrogen environment rely less upon nitrogen from captured insects.

Great pic, Thanks, Dave...we are off to a good start.................

Taken just now.

Can you give a brief description of each?

1) Candle Larkspur
2) Foxglove
3) orange Lily.

Taken recently. I had no idea what they were so I used the App on my I Phone recently discussed with Lolly. You learn something every day.

Horse chestnut blossom.

Looks very close. The centres are a little different. Well spotted though.

Showing both male and female flowers on a hazel tree.
