7-7 Round-leaved Sundews

7-7
The tiny white flowers of Round-leaved Sundews rise above their sticky glandular leaves. Sundews are carnivorous. Their leaves are insect traps.
Enchanter's Nightshade - once thought to protect against spells cast by elves - can be found in damp shady places.
In drier locations Field Milkwort lifts it flower heads above the grasses.
