Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), did this for a book. Artificial light, indoors. The whole plant was returned to the moor after the photos.

Hi Birdie,Nice use of artificial lighting . I never would have thought of trying something like this. The warm color works well with the underexposed background. I like it. #26979Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Thank you so much everybody for your kind support!!I'll be honored to provide the link as soon as the e-book is fhinished.
This IS a fascinating plant. It's roots are very short and very flat, just to get a little grip in the moist moor surface, so it is easy to remove and take back.
Have a nice Sunday, all of you!
