Rosyanka - general description
Sundew - a small grassy insectivorous perennial from the family of sundews. The plant has a shortened stem with a rosette of leaves pressed to the soil and several flower arrows. On the upper side of the leaves are reddish glands with droplets of viscous mucus.
When small insects land on them, they immediately adhere. Mucus envelops the victim, the leaf bends and the sundew gets its prey. The plant has white, small flowers, collected in one-sided brushes. The fruit is an oblong and smooth tricuspid box. Flowering sundew usually falls in June - August.
