Pitcher plants in bloom


I love carnivorous plants, and pitcher plants are among the most spectacular of these. They are incredible plants to see, and I feel very fortunate to work in an area that has lots of them. Enjoy!


Whitetop Pitcherplant (Sarracenia leucophylla)












Yellow Pitcherplant (Sarracenia flava)








Gulf Purple Pitcherplant (Sarracenia rosea)






Gulf Coast Redflower Pitcherplant (Sarracenia rubra gulfensis)






Parrot Pitcherplant (Sarracenia psittacina)










Hybrids








I've always thought that the pitcher plant flowers are unique and interesting. Click HERE to see a clearly-labeled diagram showing the pitcher plant flower parts.
