Finally… A Blossom! I can not tell you how many times I have visited this beaver pond to get a photo of the sundew flowers. In the morning they were just opening, in the evening they were closed and producing seeds. The flowers are self pollinating (what insect would want to get close to them?) so it seems the best time is in the warm afternoon.
