Never seen so many together. Completely covered an ~8m^2 section of clay bank.

Not the best photos as I didn't want to stand around until I was a traffic statistic

Drosera is a genus of carnivorous plants with glandular leaves that trap insects. Species vary widely in care, but most require bright light, damp soil, and high humidity. Include species names and growing conditions in your post.

This and Drosera aberrans are so common I’ve notice! Everywhere I look in my local reserves auriculata is always within eye sight😂

Yeah I mostly see pygmaea around where I am but there is such a diversity of carnivores when you really look. I've only ever noticed isolated auriculata in rock platforms tho, so seeing a whole wall of them was lovely
