Drosera DistributionI made this map some time ago. It shows (fairly poorly) the distribution of Drosera species in Australia. I think green was under 5 species, yellow 6-10 and orange 11 or more.

Drosera peltata

Asgards Swamp Spatulata FormationAsgard swamp in the Blue Mtns near Mt Victoria - is home to a large variety of cps - The Peltata are particularly stunning with there red and yellow leaves - but this shot of a spatulata grouping was particular interesting to a newbie when i first visited Asgard ( in the pouring rain with family in tow)

Reillys Mtn PeltataReillys Mtn On the Southern side of the Nepean river is a great spot to see most of the common species .The peltata are a beautiful green colour with either pink or white flowers .They have an oval basal roseette leaves - foliosa ish
I also hava sneaking suspicion Glandulegera may also be present in this reserve .
