Drosera rotundifolia in it's natural habitat

During last summer I was searching for sundews in their natural environment. Here's a short photorelation on another of my trips, hope you'll like it:)
Again, I choosed the Beskid Wyspowy mountains to hike. Their name is related to the island-like shape of the heights.
They are abundant in wet meadows, which are a good habitat for many plants inluding CPs, and amphibians:
One of the largest bogs in the area is the one located on a height called Lopien (in english, it will be something like "Whopeenee" )
It's a beautufil place, but hard to reach. It's hidden in the woods, in quite a distance from the touristic trails. If you don't know were exactly it is, you propably won't reach it.
Sphagnum moss on the ground
The bog grew up to it's name. It's a very wet place, and I think the best choice is to jump off your shoes when walking there, so I choosed a hot, beautiful summer day to visit it.
And finally, some shots of the Drosera rotundifolia:
The photos are a bit dark, beacause it was a really sunny day
