A post of few words this evening as I spent today on mundane chores, but got lost this afternoon in pitcher picture heaven.

These blooms may look the same as the flowers from the white pitcher plants, but they’re not. These are only a little over an inch wide and only rise about six inches from the savannah floor.
They are the blooms of the parrot’s beak pitcher plant. Once insects are lured inside the ‘beak’, a small trap door closes, and it’s curtains for the bug! This pitcher plant is very small and spreads its beaks under the grasses. This was a new plant for me, and I really had to search on hands and knees for it. Cool beans!
Once I got back on my feet, Emma and I took a rest at one of the benches along the Dees Trail.
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy
