Drosera ordensis

Drosera ordensis is characterized by its striking insect-trapping leaves, each bearing sticky, tentacle-like protrusions.

This species exhibits a rosette formation with reddish tentacles that glisten in sunlight, luring and ensnaring prey, a testament to its adaptability in harsh conditions.
