Drosera ordensis | carnivorous plants seeds | 10s

More info:

Drosera Ordensis inhabits sandy soils near sandstone outcrops in the northeaster tip of Western Australia near Kununurra and Pago and in the neighboring region of the Northern Territory in Keep River National Park. Drosera Ordensis is a perennial rosette-forming herb of about 8-15 cm in diameter. Drosera Ordensis forms clumps witch can be up to 30 cm across, of stemless or nearly stemless rosettes. Each plant has numerous leaves, which, as typical for the complex, consist of a long, hairy petiole supporting a nearly round lamina. The lamina is densely studded with stalked mucilagenous glands, which serve to attract and trap arthropod prey, which is subsequently digested and absorbed by the plant as a source of nutrients. During the dry season, the plant produces smaller somewhat dormant leaves which are protected by their dense covering of silvery hairs. Drosera Ordensis flowers from December through April. The flowers form on a crowded raceme that will open one at a time. The five-petaled flowers can be pink to nearly white and are about 1.5 cm in diameter.
