Great! I'll add the pics to that one, too.

Awesome. I recently stumbled across a global mission for Wild Orchids too. It has quite a following. https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/856...
Thanks, Neil! I'll definitely add them.
Cheers.
This is excellent, Felix. I've seen these sundews but never in flower. Amazing plants. Please consider adding this to the new mission for Australian native flowers and fruits. https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/240...
Thanks for the nice comments, Tukup and Machi! They're tiny works of art.
Wow! I've never heard of this one. The flowers really do look like pimpernel flowers! Cool find
