It's nice to learn what the names of all these plants I've grown up around in Plymouth are! I only knew a few of them, like hyssop and the asterflower you showed, and I had no idea the droseras were related to the venus flytrap
Yes! Drosera are quite speciose and occupy a wide range of nutrient-deficient habitats. Most of ours like it boggy but can be found in some surprising places (I have a video coming out where I found them amongst a massive patch of Spiranthes Orchids under a ski lift, for example), but filiformis is only on sand plans as illustrated in this video. Worth note, the "English Sundew" Drosera anglica is considered our rarest species, it can only be found in the farthest north reaches of Maine in New England.

I had to see if we have that Rhexia species in Michigan which we do its just rare. guess I'll have to make a treck to go see it this summer!
Great video. We have D. intermedia in Britain.. all of ours are acid bog dwellers, though some live in deserts I believe.

@NEcology D. anglica is uncommon in England too. D. rotundifolia is the common one here, but not in the SE which tends to be limestone.
