The Round-leaved Sundews, Drosera rotundifolia, are preparing for winter. The trap leaves die back and the plant forms hibernacula, tightly packed buds of primordial leaves. The plant survives the winter in this form and new growth begins in the spring.

This picture shows a Round-leaved Sundew, a small carnivorous plant, growing on dark, damp soil. It features several spoon-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern. The leaves are covered in tiny, hair-like tentacles that are tipped with glistening, sticky droplets used to trap insects. Some of the leaves have a reddish tint, while others are more green, and there are small, tightly closed buds (hibernacula) visible in the center of the plant. A closeup of a Round-leaved Sundew, a small carnivorous plant, nestled in dark, moist soil. The plant displays a rosette of spoon-shaped leaves, each covered in numerous hair-like tentacles. These tentacles are tipped with shiny, sticky droplets that the plant uses to capture prey. The leaves vary in color from bright green to a reddish hue, and a cluster of small, tightly closed green buds sits at the center of the plant. The plant is forming a winter hibernaculum, a tightly packed cluster of leaf buds at the center of the plant.
