Carnivorous Plants



Last week 
we were in Brookings, OR
for a family visit.
Look what I found in one 
of the hotel gardens.


These are North American Pitcher Plants.
'Sarracenia'


I think this is it's actual bloom. (photo above)


Brookings must have
 the perfect growing conditions for them,
which is cool, coastal, and sunny when
 the fog retreats back out to the ocean.


I thought they were beautiful.


These seem to be different types of Pitcher Plants
as their coloring is different.
  

Way cool, huh?

    1. I've never seen them growing here. We're probably much too hot.
