Byblis rorida

An annual rainbow plant from the Kimberley region of tropical Western Australia. It grows quickly from seed during the hot wet season in seasonally wet sand, flowers, and dies as the dry season arrives. It needs full sun, heat and a constantly moist sandy medium, and it is grown each year from seed, which is notoriously slow to germinate.
