Drosera paradoxa,the real name of this plant. :)
Doesn't it resembles fireworks? How beautiful.
It's a carnivorous plant meaning they trap tiny insects on their sticky mucilage as you can see from the photo above (the tiny tiny hair-like droplets which look like dew). Mucilage act like a glue or UHU that will trap insects. :)
I can see that they are doing good in my garden as they're trapping ants everyday.

Now you see.. |
They have tiny pink flower born on a long hairy stalk.

Now you don't! |
My next mission is to propagate them asexually (leaf pulling). I hope my 'green fingers' don't fail me.
Wish me luck! ^_^
