Drosera rotundifolia, D. anglica and D. intermedia all occur in the British Isles too, anglica is more common in the North and intermedia tends to be more common to the west of us but D. rotundifolia is local to us in the New Forest although it's spread covers almost the whole of Britain. I keep an eye out for them every year, this year they haven't been so prevalent, possibly because the spring was dry here but other times you can barely avoid them. They would have slightly different genes to the N. American plants as you know but it's interesting to hear they spread so far wide.

Kathleen, I've sometimes thought about giving all my seeds and plants in pots away and just tending the plants we have in the garden but I'm usually quickly cured of it LOL.

Piccie is of D. rotundifolia in it's New Forest habitat, it's so wild you can almost hear it roar ;)
