Pitcherplant Bog, Sarracenia flava

Spent a week in the panhandle for a change. Much of it wandering around the Apalachicola National Forest. This amazing pitcherplant bog was loaded with Yellow Pitcherplants in both the red and yellow color forms. There were at least seven different species of carnivorous plants found here, including Venus Flytraps which are naturalized in this area. Also many, many Snowy Orchids (Platanthera nivea) mixed in. You can see one of them if you look closely.

 

A highlight seen but not photographed while wandering the forest was a beautiful black bear crossing one of the dirt roads.
