I am a plant known for my unique adaptation to nutrient-poor environments. My leaves are modified to trap insects, providing me with essential nutrients. I have a basal rosette and a tall stalk from which my flowers emerge. My trapping mechanism is rapid and can capture prey in a fraction of a second. What am I?
- I thrive in boggy, acidic soils where nitrogen is scarce.
- My leaves are covered in sensitive trigger hairs.
- My flowers are white or pink and grow on a long stem.
- I belong to the family Droseraceae.
