We went in search of a letterbox today at the coolest place - a carnivorous garden! Would you believe, the Venus Flytrap, that most well-known of the carnivorous plants, only grows natively in one location in the world - within a 60 miles radius of Wilmington, NC! How cool is that? :)
Speak of the devil...here she is, in all her glory.
They had several varieties of pitcher plants as well, which are also carnivorous...this is the yellow pitcher plant.
I don't know what this little orange flower is, but I like it. :)
This was interesting information about a kind of bog we had never heard of...a pocosin. They're only found along the southeastern coast, from southern Virginia to northern Florida, and they provide the perfect nutrient-starved environment for carnivorous plants.
It may not be pretty, but it's home! :)
