This is a bit unusual. A #MacroMonday #bnw image of a pitcher plant flower and a newly emerged pitcher tube. The flowers are a deep burgundy color. I will be in this bog in the next couple weeks. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #bloomscrolling #flower #pitcherplants #Sarracenia #bogplants

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #two. Here are two pitcher plants out in a bog in North Florida. They seem to be having a nice chat. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #pitcherplants #sarracenia #bogs #bogplants #botanicalart #Nikon #Lightroom

Now here's a #ForestFriday #scape for ya. I love visiting these bogs in our national forest in the #Florida panhandle. Pines and cypress #trees dominate the landscape with drifts of these fascinating carnivorous pitcher plants. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #bogs #pitcherplants #sarracenia

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #One. This single mature pitcher plant stood alone in the Apalachicola National Forest on a foggy morning. The new season will be here in a couple months. Can't wait. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #fog #pitcherplants #sarracenia

Plantwatch: Pitcher plantโ€™s sweet nectar is laced with toxic nerve agent Nepenthes khasiana oozes an enticing liquid on the rim of its pitchers that tempts its prey into a deadly trap

"A carnivorous pitcher plant has recently been found to use a chemical nerve agent to drug its prey and lead them to a deadly end, being consumed in digestive juices at the bottom of the pitcher traps."

A couple of pitcher plants growing in a bog like cobras waiting to strike, with a few types of ferns and other vegetation growing among them.

A couple of pitcher plants growing in a bog like cobras waiting to strike, with a few types of ferns and other vegetation growing among them.

Photo of signpost describing Darlingontia plants, reads:

These cobra-like plants, Darlingtonia californica, are found natively in the bog areas of Northern California and Southwestern Oregon.  They flower in May or June with hanging blooms of yellow and red and produce up to a dozen leaves per plant.  Erect seed pods remain most of the summer.

Insects are lured into the leaf opening under the hood by nectar on the colorful โ€˜petal-likeโ€™ appendages and the edges of the opening.  Once inside the hood the insects become confused by the many transparent areas in the upper parts of the leaves which appear as exits.  Keeping a foothold on the glassy smooth upper surface of the tube is difficult and eventually the insects are trapped in the lower tube by sharp downward pointing hairs.  After falling into a pool of liquid at the base of the leaf, the captive is digested and absorbed as food through the plants thin lower walls.

Diagram on left shows the various parts of the plant, starting top to bottom reads:

Flower
-yellow sepals
-red petals

Leaf
-transparent window
-forked appendages
-leaf tube
-downward pointing hairs
-digestive enzymes

For #ColorADay and #YellowThu, here's another image I made of yellow topped #pitcherplants. I go a few times to this bog in the Apalachicola National Forest every spring. It's a natural wonder. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #bogs #bogplants #sarracenia

Remembering #springtime. That's when the #bogs are on full display. I'm fortunate to have #pitcherplants fill the fields not too far from where I live. I used a Lume Cube Panel Mini to illuminate these beauties during the exposure. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #sarracenia

Green pitchers with red veining popping out of soft squidgy sphagnum moss in a bog

Green pitchers with red veining popping out of soft squidgy sphagnum moss in a bog

Moar pitcher plants! The sphagnum moss of the bog was so soft. It bounced a bit as you walked. Loons yelling in the background. Floating forests are amazing! Too late in season for sundews- will have to go back.

Another image from the bogs. These two pitcher plants seem to be talking to each other. One of them is probably telling the other it has a spider on it. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #pitcherplants #sarracenia #bogs #bogplants

When I go to the #pitcherplants #bogs in the spring, I make tons of images. In that way, I can post them here and there for the whole year. A nice reminder. I used a Lume Cube Panel Mini to illuminate the pitchers during exposure. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #sarracenia

3 kinds of carnivorous pitcher plants from a recent hike.
#pitcherplants

2 0 0 0
Pictured: Garden with a range of green native plants growing around a small 9 gallon, approximate 21inch round black micropond.  In the pond are 4 containers, 2 with native irises (past bloom), and two with pitcher plants.  Both are tall, around 15 inches. One has smaller pitchers that are a little bit ruffled on the edges.  The top 3-4 inches are colorful, White with deep red veining.  The second has smooth pitchers. The very top of the pitcher is a coppery bronze that then leads to copper stripping a few inches down the pitcher.  The fully grown copper pitchers are about 3 inches wide, while the red/white ones are about 1.5 inches.

This pond has had: damsel flies, tadpoles, blood maggots, rat tail maggots, and a number of other things I can't identify.

I'm glad to add these pitcher plants to my 9 gallon micro ponds. I picked these up at Botanique Nursery in VA. A super cool place to nerd out. (yes micro add environmental interest for local wildlife)
