1950s Blaschka Glass Round-Leaved Sundew Postcard

Delicate yet deadly, this striking postcard features Drosera rotundifolia, the round-leaved sundew, an insectivorous plant whose tiny leaves shimmer with jewel-like droplets. Each glistening bead is actually a sticky gland, designed to lure and digest unsuspecting insects. Though small and often found tucked away in quiet bogs and fens, the sundew survives in nutrient-poor soils by turning to carnivory, transforming fragility into quiet strength.
