Drosera intermedia, Spatulate leaf sundew, is native to Eastern North America from the Canadian Maritime down the Atlantic coast and parts of the Gulf coast. The Spatulate leaf sundew is a small plant standing 2-3” in height and flowering with ¼” white flowers 5” above the foliage. Spoon shaped leaves with sticky hairs curl around insect prey!
