Genus drosera. Common name "sundew". It's a carnivorous (insectivorous) plant. A good place to buy them is californiacarnivores.com. Be aware you need to water them with distilled water. But they're very beautiful plants, if finicky about their growing conditions. (Be aware they're pretty small. The one in that picture is only a few cm across).

iOS 14 Lets You Zoom Further Into Photos

This one is in fact from California Carnivores! Also these need full sun pretty much, plus wet conditions and as mentioned, mineral free water. They're not all super small, though. This is a Drosera Venusta that's about two inches at this point. Capensis, regia, and the forked leaf sundews get quite large. They're fun plants!
I see this either being removed or staying maybe but it will exist for sure for the iPhone 12 and later as the pixel count will skyrocket and zoom capabilities will too (with iPhone 13 going even further with quality and pixel/zoom)
I hope they keep it in just for the sake of having it but I could see them making this exclusive to the newest upcoming iPhone.

Messages app (texts) has always had ability to zoom in much more into an image than the Photos app. Maybe now they are equally zoomable.
You can try for yourself by checking the same image in both Messages and Photos

This is a great feature that Apple has enabled to remind us we’re still a long ways away from DSLR. 😜 Smartphone photos, specifically iPhone photos usually fall apart when zoomed in. But that said, I’ve been super impressed with the 11 Pro cameras. They made a huge leap with the iPhone 11/11 Pro cameras.
As a work around until IOS 14 arrives you you can turn Zoom on in the Accessibility settings and remove the zoom limitations for photos. This works even without the 3 fingered double tap that toggles magnification mode for the entire screen. A slight downside is that you can occasionally enter zoom mode accidentally. Even somewhat pixelated, the increased magnification is very useful. As someone who has been vision impaired my whole life, I find the utility functions of a good camera almost as important as the artistic considerations.
No fuzzier than if they allowed you to just zoom further. The bits are the bits, you aren’t magically making more of them.
It depends on how many pixels are in the file vs how many are in the screen. You are assuming that the number of bits in the file is less, which may not always be the case.
No idea what you're talking about. iCloud works perfectly - syncs my photos between my phone/ipad/macbook pro/Mac Pro/Apple TV
Wait - are you saying you don't use iCloud Photos? Then you should...
