May Wildflowers on the Bruce Peinisula

 

 Round-leaved Sundew (an insectivorous plant)

      Insectivorous plants catch their meals in a variety of ways. Sundews has sticky leaves that trap insects. Trapped insects are decomposed by the plant's digestive enzymes, and the nutrients from the insects are absorbed by the plant. In this sense, insectivorous plants work very much like human stomachs.

 Pitcher-plant   (an insectivorous plant)

     The pitcher plant has a reservoir of water in which insects drown. Trapped insects are decomposed by the plant's digestive enzymes, and the nutrients from the insects are absorbed by the plant. In this sense, insectivorous plants work very much like human stomachs.
