I found gold today.
I was at an undisclosed location looking for a black squirrel,
when I spied bog heaven on the shore of a lake.
I got my shoes all squishy getting these photos, but it was worth it.
How ironic to find Yellow Trumpets in Dizzy Gillespie’s hometown.
The genus name is Sarracenia. I don’t know whether it’s the flava or alata species.
They are pitcher plants. They trap insects in the pitcher and dissolve them as a supplemental source of nitrogen not available in the soil.
This town has been one thrill after another.
I will be sad to leave, but my family, plants and bunnies need me.
Follow the FLOWER.
Très joli billet! Je ne connais pas cette fleur mais elle est magnifique et semble pousser dans les marais.
Bon week-end Floweralley
