Great habitat pics Ozzy! I think it's great for people to see these plants in their dormancy in the wild, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Summer pics as well..

Nice pics OZ! I can't help but notice the VFT's look active even though it's winter time.

When vft's here go dormant, they only really just stop growing. On warm winter days they are active. If fact one of the big traps that I was trying to get a good pic of closed when I moved a leaf out of the way. Most of the cp's here stay semi-active during the winter. I think the only ones that goes completely dormant are the S. flava and D. filiformis.

ozzy, Nice habitat shots, they sure bring back memories.
BTW, which photo's have the Drosera brevifolia? I can't find them.

Fantastic photos. Joseph, I think he said the site had D. brevifolia, not these pics. I did notice some D. capillaris that seemed to be growing vertically up a mud wall.

PAK, Yeah, I know, but it can't hurt to ask. They usually die back in the winter anyways. The D. capillaris were looking their typical winter best.

I didn't have time to take pics of the D. brevifolia. They were growing a little ways down the road. I was so amazed by the color of of the vft's and the veining of the rubras, that I spent all my time taking pics of them. I'll get pics of them when I go back. When you go back to a cp site in the summer that you found in the winter, sometimes you find even more species. I'll go back in april or may. That's the easiest time to find cp's because of the flowers. I'll have some nice pics to post then.
I will post pics of some other sites in the coming weeks.

Nice winter photos.
When I have observed D. brevifolia growing in the wild, they are actually at their best in the winter and early spring. They also seem to flower best in the late winter and early spring. By late spring the D. brevifolia in the open areas have often died down. In shady and more protected areas some D. brevifolia seem to straggle into summer and beyond.
Regarding the VFT, that is just Dionaea in its winter growth phase. The large traps are the old Fall Traps. VFT grow and remain active year round.

Here you can find D. brevifolia anytime of the year. But winter and spring seem to be the best times.
