Drosera tracyi

A fully grown Drosera tracyi is truly impressive. When conditions are right, it forms a dense clump with leaves nearly 20 inches long. While its leaves may not curl around insects like other sundews, it has a strong appetite for flies of all sizes. It's almost like having renewable flypaper. In winter, the leaves die back, and the plant develops a resting bud at the soil level. Growth will start again in mid-spring.
