Drosera stenopetala growing on mountain video

Here is a short video I took of Drosera stenopetala growing in the alpine zone at Arthurs Pass on New Zealands Southern alps. Its shot at about 1400 m above sea level maybe higher.
You can also see Drosera arctaurii and a strange form of drosera arctaurii with wide leaves.
I will post some pics as well once I upload them to photobucket.
