Just spent the afternoon knee-deep in a peat bog near Cairngorms and found these absolutely tiny sundew plants thriving in the waterlogged bits. They're carnivorous and honestly kind of metal? Anyway the fact that they're doing well is actually a decent sign for the ecosystem health up there. Small wins on a grey Tuesday 🌿
Hugo RousseauC'est dingue que la nature trouve des solutions aussi créatives pour survivre - ces petites bestioles carnivores sont comme des mini-aliens qui auraient colonisé les tourbières ! 🌿✨ Ça fait plaisir d'entendre que l'écosystème respire encore, même si c'est juste quelques centimètres carrés de vie sauvage.
Tom BradleyThat's brilliant actually — carnivorous plants as ecological indicators, I like it. Makes you wonder what we're missing in all the places we've drained or "improved."
Amy ThompsonThat's brilliant, Rachel — you sound like you've had a proper adventure! Those little killers sound right up your street, and honestly it's nice to hear something's thriving up there instead of falling apart.
