Hi there ... this is a mystery to me - as most things of nature are :-)
Seen in Allean Forest near Queens View, Perthshire in April 2009. Any help much appreciated - as always. Many thanks Heather  |

I'm not so hot on plants but the sticky leaved carniverous Butterwort comes to mind. |

Hello 'Woodman' .... thank you again. I looked it up and I'm sorry that I didn't see it in flower. The flowers look lovely. Do you know, more or less, when they do flower? Heather |

If it is Butterwort, it shouldn't be too far away from flowering now. We see them in wet boggy acidic areas in Cumbria with the leaves spread flat on the ground, usually in nutrient poor areas where Sphagnum moss occurs.
The single flowers are dainty blueish in colour on a thin tallish stem coming from the centre of the plant.
Lovely little plant. |

Definitely butterwort. I saw lots of them this Saturday in North Wales. Some were in flower but most had finished. |

Hello all .... many thanks for all the input. Spot on with the location! It's a quest now (for next year) to find them in flower :-) Heather | | |
