Subject: "This is not a sundew!!!

Hello,
I am still the only person on the SoldiersDelight yahoo group.

Someone wrote "This is not a sundew" beneath my photo on the "Wildflowers of
Soldiers Delight". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildflowers_of_Soldiers_Delight

You have to click on the photo to enlarge it and then you will see "This is not
a sundew!!!"

I would tend to agree that it may not be a sundew. Pictures of the leaves of
"Drosera rotundifolia" have long petioles.

I photographed this plant in 2003 in the area south of Dolfield Road, growing on
mound of soil from a pit that someone had dug. (It is entirely possible, that
this area is outside of the Soldiers Delight boundary.)

If this is not a sundew, then what is it?

How about a very small plant of "Opuntia humifusa"?
Does that grow in the Soldiers Delight area?

I am anxious to learn you opinion about this.
