"The faster the insects wriggle, the more the fluid resists, courtesy of long strings of sugars it contains.

After years of study, scientists are still learning new things about how Raffles’ pitcher plants weaponize this strange fluid."

Volume up for peatlands #ASMR! Fieldwork might not always be glamourous but sometimes the bog slog leads you to a breathtaking view like this one.

Species of pitcher plants and several unrelated lineages independently have evolved pitcher-shaped traps.

Remembering last spring. I visited the bogs of North Florida three times during peak pitcher plant season. A friend of mine found this bog and graciously took me to it. Bogs are best seen in the early morning, especially when it's foggy. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants

Time for one historical scientific art post: Sarracenia rubra, or the sweet pitcher plant, is a carnivorous perennial wildflower native to the SE U.S. From my copy of North American Wild Flowers by naturalist & botanical artist Mary Vaux Walcott, published by the Smithsonian Institution in 1925. 🐡
A colored illustration of a flower. Description by author: “Sweet pitcherplant is a lovely member of its family, its flowers held aloft on delicate stems well above the "pitchers." In addition to other interesting features, it has a delightful odor similar to that of wild grape blossoms. The leaves have the usual characteristics of pitcherplants, catching and digesting unwary insects that enter them. Of all the pitcherplants, this is, perhaps, the most desirable to cultivate because of its fragrance and its lasting qualities. It should be grown in a cool greenhouse. Sweet pitcherplant is found from Georgia and Alabama to Notch Carolina, growing chiefly at moderate elevations. The specimen sketched was brought into bloom by Dr. Frederick V. Coville in the greenhouses of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, District of Columbia.” #sciart #wildflowers #bloomsky

It's #MacroMonday. My daughter gifted this pitcher plant to me a couple years ago. It sits in a stand on the screened deck behind my house. It seems pretty happy out there. Especially when it rains. #photography #macro #macrophotography #PitcherPlants #NikonZ8

Pitcher plants in soft sphagnum moss in the bog! Carnivorous plants in a floating forest, the moss undulated beneath our feet. 🌿 🌲🦌

#bog #pitcherplants #carnivorousplants
Red reins stand out on carnivorous pitcher plants coming out of the soft sphagnum moss carpet floor of the bog. The floating forest floor undulated beneath our feet. It's certainly a sensation XD

It's #Stunday. These pitcher plants are enjoying life in the bogs in North #Florida. They seem supremely suited to bog life with their unique biology. These areas in which they grow need to be protected and preserved. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs #conservation #Nikon

For #Stunday. Here's another image from my walk through the bogs of North Florida in May on a beautiful foggy #morning. They are at their best at this time. The pitchers are pristine and perfect. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs #NikonZ8 #conservation #Forests #panorama

Cursing your TL with Nepenthes pitcherplants in their Phallic stage of growth.

Trying to distract myself with silly plant pictures as illness rn is extremely PAINFUL but the antibiotics are working.

It's #ForestFriday. This image of yellow pitcher plants was made in the Apalachicola National Forest on a beautiful foggy morning earlier this month. It's a unique environment in which they are well adapted. #photography #landscape #ECK #PitcherPlants #Sarracenia #CarnivorousPlants #Forests #NikonZ8

These pitcher plants are #tall, which is today's #BlueskyArtShow theme. Nearly three feet tall. I made many images of them on a recent glorious morning in a foggy bog. Illuminated with a Lume Cube Panel Mini during exposure. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs #Nikon #Z8

All lined up and looking so pretty. These are the delicate and beautiful flowers of the peacock pitcher plant. So deeply scarlet in color. I love photographing the color red in the landscape. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs #flowers #bloomscrolling #blooms #nature

Pitchers. Lots of pitchers. I've visited this bog three times this spring. So far. I'd like to go back at least once more. Hopefully with fewer horseflies than the last time I visited. From a national forest in Florida. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs #Nikon #Z8

-finally-

poor things have had a rough time with the Scottish forecast being very scottish. twice theyve had their new growth burnt due to sudden drops in temperature. the horticulture fleece is still on standby just in case.

A study in pitcher plant leaf morphology. These are open and not yet opened pitchers. They are actually modified leaves that open to form a tube that gathers rainfall, forming pitfall traps to catch and digest insects. #photography #landscape #ECK #PitcherPlants #Sarracenia #CarnivorousPlants

For #Stunday. This is #Sarracenia flava, the yellow pitcher plant. Sometimes they hybridize to form reddish colored tubes, which are actually modified leaves. One of my favorites to photograph. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs #Nikon #Z8
