Hi, Sylvia. Do you have anything like Sarracenia (pitcher plants) in England? Their range extends up into Canada. Thanks for coming by.

Not growing in the wild as we do not have the humidity or heat. You can buy them here and look after them as long as you keep them watered daily!

Beautiful set of rarely seen wild orchids. Thanks for posting those.


I posted an orchid shot a few years ago not knowing what it really was. A friendly Hog educated me. This a great place to learn. Thank you.

When I first came to the Hog in 2014, I was weak in photography knowledge and weaker in pp knowledge. UHH has been a fantastic learning experience.

Thanks, Earnest.

Hi, Sylvia. I asked that question after I found this range map for Sarracenia. Lots of the Canadian range is further north than Scotland.

I actually suspect the reason is related to what Alfred Russel Wallace learned in Brazil and the East Indies...although Darwin got most of the historical credit.

My first photo safari into the the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden in Wilmington NC was in 2010. This year I made my 11th annual safari into the bog. It was later in the season than I would like, but I can thank 11 weeks of lockdown in Virginia.

I have been in there at the end of May several times and found much better pitcher plant (sarracenia) flowers than I did this time. Don't know what may the problem (mild winter, wetter spring?) may be.

So the show plants this time were the orchids which I had never captured well before. The flytraps are recovering after a vandal stole hundreds of them a few years ago. For those unaware, flytraps are no larger than the your finger to the first joint. Really need a macro...some day.

So a potpourri of shots from early yesterday.

They are beautiful, dave...nice shots!
