Drosera modesta

Drosera modesta is a carnivorous plant with slender stems and sticky, glandular leaves that are adapted to trap and digest insects. The plant's vibrant red tentacles and delicate white or pink flowers are a stark contrast against its typically nutrient-poor, boggy habitats. This adaptation allows drosera modesta to supplement its diet and thrive where other plants may struggle.
