      looks like im a little late, but the explanation for that is that the species that exist in ecosystems with regular fire will adapt. most of the seeds have a protective coating that must be removed by fire, or chemical detectors that detect when chemicals from smoke have leached into the soil.

      If you think of it like that, it is scary; however, it is completely possible - similar to how plants know they need insects to get pollinated. Some plant species have hairs or trichomes that are used against defense from pests. At some point, some species with stickier trichomes or ones that can absorb some nitrogen from the insects that came to them fared better off in lower nutrient environments. Eventually these plants put more skill points into developing stickier hairs to capture more prey and increase the amount of nitrogen they can absorb.

    so glad these are native to my local area (Perth, Australia). I've been looking for something carnivorous for my aquaculture bog garden (dont really need it, pest control is pretty efficient), but finding something that can take our 47°C summers (and the most brutal afternoon sun ive ever encountered) without shitting itself is quite a mission. . . so some hardy droseras will be perfect (Venus flytraps and trumpet pitchers cant handle it here without a shite load of help, and most nepenthes need a level of humidity im not willing to invest in).
