NAME: [Drosera intermedia] IMAGE: ps18.jpg DESC: D. intermedia in habitat (SE North Carolina, USA) CREDIT: Philip Semanchuk DATE: 1995 TEXT: { Drosera intermedia in the Green Swamp near Wilmington, NC, USA, April 28, 1995. These plants and several others (same species) were growing in partial shade with other amongst some grasses (visible in the photo) about 2m from the edge of a pond. The soil was wet and also supported a healthy colony of Utricularia. The acidic soil is typical of that in the swamp -- fine sand mixed with organic matter.
I took this photo with a Minolta Maxxum 7000 and an inexpensive set of macro lenses on Fuji 100 film. The negative was scanned directly onto a Kodak Photo CD.

The parent plant was getting strong competition from tall grasses and was growing in partial shade. The soil was damp to the touch and was typical of the acidic sand/peat mix found in the swamp. I like this photo; the fact that the flower is waning allows you to see all the parts of the flower clearly. One red petal has fallen conveniently aside to expose the flower's reproductive organs, and the breeze conveniently stopped blowing just long enough for me to take this picture.
