SARRACENIA PURPUREA






Years ago we came across Pitcher Plants growing in a swampy area near where we live.  I have never seen them anywhere else around here.  A few days ago Joanne and I came across them again in the same general area and I took some pictures of them.
They go by a few different names:  turtle sox or side saddle flower and they are carnivorous!!!
We made sure not to step on them and left them where they were.  I am sure I would not be successful were I to try and transplant them to my swampy area.  Hopefully whoever else discovers them will leave them be as well.
