Drosera peltata in Western Melbourne

[strath76]

I had a bit of spare time the other day and thought I would head off to the You Yangs regional Park just to the west of Melbourne. I didn't have a lot of time and thought I would have a walk around a lower section of the park and see if any of the seasonal CP's had emerged from dormancy.

I was pleasantly surprised to find several clearings with large populations of what I believe to be D. peltata. The plants are still very immature and are only just beginning to produce the erect shoots. The plants are still about a month of looking their best. Hope you enjoy the photo's.
