War of the .... uh...

I spent a couple of weekends last year taking photos of these spectacular little carnivorous flowers, drosera peltata . This shot in particular looks makes them look strikingly like War of the Worlds aliens. I don’t usually do series of photographs, but I might upload a few more of these.

    they do kind of look like those weird aliens. i’m just picturing that one weak tentacle flopping out of the spaceship and kind of looking withered and weak. :) i think i want a carnivorous plant to see what it will do. this ones’ pretty neat looking.
