The Darlingtonia Bog
( Part 4 )
 |
| These plants were just gorgeous. Yes, this clump was growing wild. It almost looks cultivated, it's so pretty. |
 |
| The VFTs out there were all pretty big! I guess they like the environment! |
 |
| How many species of Carnivorous Plant can you count in this photo? (The big purple one on the left side of the photo is Matt - he doesn't count.) There are at least five, but you probably can't see the D.rotundifolia, D.capensis or VFT that were in this spot. You can spot the Darlingtonia and a small clump of S.leucophylla, though. |
 |
| There were some pygmy Drosera planted in another area of the bog by themselves. I'm pretty sure this is D.nitidula ssp. omissa. |
 |
| Drosera aliciae also got planted in its own section of the bog. You can see the big shovel scoop on the right of the photo - evidence of someone who wanted to have an instant. D.aliciae collection. |
 |
| This was a very pretty hybrid Sarracenia that we ran across. It's obviously got S.purpurea in it, but I don't know what else - at least S.leucophylla and S.rubra were also growing nearby for natural hybridization. (Or it may have been planted.) |
