Yep. I had that bug. It took about six weeks to completely clear out of my lungs.
Your pale/tall sundews are lots taller than ours.
Hi Lori, Just getting over this awful bug thats been doing the rounds, I do have some photos here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/684..., I have more photos of them in flower but haven't put them up yet
Well spotted. It's amazing how well these can blend in. I figure we've got at least another three weeks before they will flower here. Did you get any photos of the sundews?
