The leaves of this plant remind me of tiny Reindeer Antlers.
Note the curled-up tips of the forked leaves.

Look for the reddish stems.

Another view of the same group of plants.
The low-growing green mats
are groups of small Selaginella plants
But the flowers emerge straight up from the base on an unforked stem. There are numerous white flower buds per stem. The low-growing green mats

Beautiful pure-white flowers of Drosera binata.
These large patches of white coming from the mud and the ooze of a boggy patch of a farm look quite out of place.
Life is full of surprises.

Great photos of these beautiful little flowers - and finally! this is one I know and see up here although the D. spatulata is more common.
Hi Mick
I only remember the small Sundews from Melbourne, as a Kid. It is reported from Vic and SA, but perhaps it has a preference for warmer climes.
I love the weird curled leaves.
I have some photos of D. spatulata and several shots of what I think is D. peltata, but I need to take a lot more images before I can do a "series" on the tiny Sundews.
Cheers
Denis
