Pinguicula (butterworts) and Sarracenia (pitcher plants) are having a spring flowering frenzy. This is Pinguicula moranensis sending up yet another flower stalk.
The flower stalks of carnivorous plants, especially the low rosetted species, are often very long in relation to the size of the rest of the plant. This is thought to enable pollinators to visit the flower without getting caught in the trap leaves. This species is Pinguicula moranensis.
Cleaned up and moved the dormant Drosera paradoxa (sundew) into a new pot. It's in an open glass container until the ambient humidity in this room goes up. This one came out of dormancy mid going into late March last year (see link at https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/112169585969118118), but it can vary. As I am doing with a few other plants, I top dressed it with chopped fresh sphagnum moss that I keep in a jar.

A pot of Drosera capensis along with a flower of a hitchhiking terrestrial bladderwort, probably Utricularia bisquamata. The flower is about a quarter of an inch across.
Today I was listening to the self-titled album by Savage Garden (1997)

Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 29, 2000 and spent four non-consecutive weeks at the top of the chart.
Moved this little drosera to the office due to annoying tiny bugs dive-bombing the monitor in the evening. It seems to be really enjoying this sunny afternoon.
The Drosera Paradoxa woke up and is out of winter dormancy.
