Yes Pankaj and all So nice to see Drosera indica (green) and D. burmanni (red). One correction Mani- the flowers are always and only for reproduction. It is the leaf which is modified for trapping insects. The glandular hair on the leaf do the actual work. The last Hornbill (BNHS magazine) issue has my article on the Indian carnivorous plants, with stunning close-up pics from Ashok Captain, Dr. Pankaj and Hemanth. Regards Aparna
