Hallo,

Drosera gigantea is a very impressive species, especially if you find them growing in large clumps. At one location close to Busselton we had the luck to find some red plants of that species.

Hi Christian,

although I don't like Drosera in general, these are very impressive pictures!

Why I didn't find them in the GFP Forum? ;-)
Kind regards
Giovanni

Hi,

all the pictures have been taken in September, so you can see what you can expect if you are there during that time.
