Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand
01.12.2011
We stayed in this national park a few days. As soon as we arrived I found sundews at the back of Skotel, in a very wet place; then in the Taranaki Falls track. Both places were above the tree line in an alpine environment, over 1,000 metres above sea level.
Literally the spoon shaped Drosera. It was just about coming into bloom, the flower stalks are those blobs at the centre.
I was delighted with this find, it added to my sundew experience during this trip. By now I knew where to look. See my posts in South Africa and Western Australia.
