Default Some drosera photos

Another 3 flowers today from the NOID pygmy and finally got a chance with a fully bloom














still quite small, compare with the moss

Great shots...and plants Simon! And that last shot with the front hanging racks has me wanting to run off to the hardware supply store right away! Never even occurred to me to use those for expansion! I like your water tray idea using the clear plastic cups with the cut lids...that'll foil those mossies!

Nice photography Simon. You are able to capture the dews very clearly. They look so beautiful. They're going into the photo gallary.

Thanks Shawn, I did not realised how he place the pots in the water trays. I think we had a thread on how to prevent mosquitos from laying eggs in the water tray some time back but this is one of the best ideas by far. Great thinking Simon.

thanks of the comments.
The side trays are very handy . I got the idea of the water tray is from some sundews I bought the nurseries.

when you are at it, you can also consider some extension tubes to get closer for a closeup shot
