-biggest sundews i’ve seen at location. i frequent this location, and am well-familiar with Drosera. this one always makes me wonder.
-it is far more robust and taller than surrounding intermedia, and rotundifolia. could this be characteristic ‘hybrid vigor’?
-location obscured. message me!

Doesn't look like a fern, but it is! It's just one in which the leaves are simple (uncut) -- the number of fractal subdivisions is zero. I'm sure there's a way to formally quantify that in terms of the fractal dimension, but I wasn't able to put it together with a few minutes of googling -- maybe someone will be be able to help. All sorts of other interesting examples in this little set of ferns -- the Asplenium trichomanes (Maidenhair Spleenwort) www.flickr.com/photos/anitagould/3036415289/ is in the same genus but is once-cut, looking much more like a proper (albeit fairly simple) fern with a compound leaf. I don't have any of the really lacy thrice-cut ferns -- will have to see what I can pick up around here next summer.

The leaf tips will root and sprout new plants -- hence 'walking'.

Sorry about the nasty flash photo; there just wasn't enough light deep under the canopy here to get a natural-light shot.
