New Mexico, September 2022
For the prompt “Lonesome Road”
A swamp of carnivorous pitcher plants. These are Darlingtonia pitcher plants, and they grow native in some parts of Oregon and California. If you see some, be careful not to disturb them as they have a limited range and only grow in low-elevation temperate swamps
"Insect-eating plants like pitcher plants and sundew often are found in bogs. They get a lot of the nutrients they need to survive from the insects they eat, so they can thrive in a bog's nutrient-poor soil."
New pitcher plant in the light! The farmers market stand that draws me like a moth to a flame had a bunch of carnivorous plants and I have gnats so I stocked up.
