I'm just wondering whether anyone here can guess what this plant is by
just looking at its flower?

Sundew (Drosera)?

No.

In that case, it's Venus Fly trap

I'm all disappointed now... I thought this might run for a while :-(

Sorry! You shouldn't choose things I've grown ;-)

I looked at it quickly and thought it looked Malva moschata-like, but
the buds were completely wrong, so I mentally re-sized it downwards and
recognised it instantly as one of my carnivores. *But I haven't *got the
VFT any more and the sundews aren't up at the moment, and googling
didn't seem in the spirit of the question, so I chose the wrong one
first.

That was most sporting of you :-)


Anyway, what a pretty flower for such an ungainly plant!

Ooh, I wouldn't say it was ungainly. But I know what you mean - such
delicate petals compared with such robust leaves.

Ungainly is probably unfair, alright. It's just that, never having
grown one of those, I had no idea what its flowers might possibly look
like, and when this lovely, delicate thing appeared, I was just
enchanted.

Thanks for playing ;-)
