I was shocked I find a population of D. rotundifolia growing on an
unexpected place, on waterfall with very calcium reach water (much tufa
(calcium carbonate)). They are growing together with Pinguicula vulgaris,
some in grass, some on decomposing branches, some even in running water.
There is no trace of Sphagnum moss.
I'm interested if this is just an exception or it is common elsewhere.
