Day 275: By now, my readers should know what to expect when I go kayaking on Lake St. Clair. Sundews are a given! I was afraid I might have missed their flowering period, but was happy to see that many of them were still in bloom. They also appear to be enjoying a wide variety of bugs in their diet, everything from flies to spiders, mosquitoes, wasps and the occasional beetle. Mycoheterotrophs and rare orchids aside, Drosera rotundifolia was one of my "bucket list" plants. Finding them in the wild was arguably the finest moment in my history as a naturalist. I still get excited about visiting them!
