Pygmy sundews are noted for their miniature size, often only 1/4-inch in diameter. Drosera scorpiodes is one of many species of pygmy sundews native to Australia. For a pygmy, this one is a giant! During its first year, it grows up to 2 inches tall. As the plant matures, it continues to grow an inch or two each year. The lower portions will turn brown, but the upper portion will remain green. They seem to reach a maximum height of 8 inches. The leaves resemble the tail of a scorpion and has dewy tentacles that wrap around flies and other small insects. What a beast! Grrrr!
