This is the Godlingston Sundew which is a hybrid of Round-leaved Sundew and Oblong-leaved Sundew, As its name suggests, it grows on Godlingston Heath which may be its only site in Europe. It's a typical hybrid in that it is very robust with much larger leaves than either parent.

Those sundews look yummy - good thing I am not an insect or I would be in a sticky mess of trouble. Great shots.
Brilliant stuff, I've still to see that particular bladderwort. This just gets me all excited for next season! Thankyou :)
Sensational: just sensational! We get most of these in Norfolk, but not (as far as I'm aware!) the Pitcher Plants....
Wilma - They doo look alluring!
Seth - Thankyou! I'm exited for next season too. Seems so far away.
David - Thankyou! Pitcher Plants are seen as an unwelcome invasive so better if you don't get then in Norfolk I suppose.
