Drosera spatulata var. gympiensis (also known as the Spatula Sundew) is native to the coastal area between Gympie and Fraser Island in Australia. It is recognized by its hot pink flowers and short, hairy flower stalks. After catching prey, the dewy leaves curl around the insect and the plant begins digestion. Please note: Some plants may arrive more green but will turn red with time under strong light.

My first sundew! I was introduced to Curious Plant from someone I follow on Instagram. Their pings always looked really healthy and excellent quality so I gave Curious Plant a go and bought a ping and a sundew. I was surprised and super happy and grateful to see that they gave me two sundews when I only ordered one. The sundews were also flowering. My package also came fairly quickly seeing that Curious Plant isn’t located in my state. I was very happy with my order and the quality of the plants! I will definitely be ordering from here again! I potted it in carnivorous plant mix but topped it with the deluxe mexican Pinguicula mix to try and keep the fungus gnats from breeding in the soil

They sent me two healthy ones (both with flower stems!) even though I only ordered one. I have ordered from them in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
