Many thanks to Jim Fowler for taking time to help me fulfill the dream to see these wonderful places.
This location represents just a small fraction of larger populations of this magnificent species in nature. A very easy location to visit and see it all within 5 minutes. Handicapped accessible and very easy to walk.
These photos represent a population of yellow-flowered Sarracenia psittacina with normal ly colored pitchers. these plants are not Anthocyanin-free. This is one of several very small populations of this variant that I have observed in several states within the plant's range.
There has been much speculation about flower color variance in the Sarraceniaceae (when it occurs) as to whether this variation represents mutation or the influence of historic hybridization. I tend to believe that distant hybridization is the likely source for flower color variation in these populations.
Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia).
Photographed at Rocher Bog, South Yokshire.
OS grid reference SK262932.
A very rare look at an upper pitcher of Nepenthes rajah. Plants at this location are among the largest I have seen in habitat with this individual vine measuring an estimated 5+ meters in height.
The king of all pitcher plants, Nepenthes rajah is possibly the most legendary of the Nepenthes. First described by Joseph Hooker in 1859 and then illustrated by Spencer St John in 1862 from the Marai Parai plateau adjacent to Mt Kinabalu.
Despite the ornate peristomes, colorations, and unique morphology of other species there is no comparison to observing this species in the wild among the old world tropical pitcher plants.

A remarkably varied and beautiful natural hybrid. Many of the plants depicted in these photos are likely multigenerational hybrids and backcrosses.
These rare "bog islands" overlaying granite along streams, cascades, and waterfalls are home to some of the rarest plant assemblages in North America. This is one of the most rare habitats in the eastern United States.

Also in this photo are Sarracenia leucophylla and Sarracenia xmoorei. a very favorable hybrid habitat.
The plants depicted in these photos are from an increasingly rare southeastern US habitat in which both Sarracenia rubra and Sarracenia purpurea co-occur. At this site are hybrid plants mostly growing in moderate to heavy shade. As a result, the hybrid plants are typically poorly colored and spindly. Under bright light conditions this S xchelsonii hybrid is one of the most colorful natural hybrids.
Sarracenia 'Amber Rays' and Utricularia bisquamata. Two hungry carnivorous plants waiting for an unsuspecting meal to come their way. Sarracenia 'Amber Rays' is an oreophila x purpurea hybrid.

Drosera petiolaris is common in low, flooded areas across the Top End. Each insect trap at the end of each leaf is rather small - only a few mm across. Mosiquitoes and other small insects are regularly caught. The traps move slowly across the captured insect and the trapping is via the stickiness of the trap and trap hairs - not by any sudden movement of the trap. The plants are easy to spot - the lime green leaves and the briliant red traps make them stand out in low, flooded areas. They are easy spotted in the mid point of the Top End's wet season (Feb-April).

Plants at this population are part of an extremely steep (80% grade) hillside seep. many Pinguicula macroceras at this site.
This is the "typical" form of the natural hybrid S xgilpinii.
The carnivorous plants depicted in these photos represent a newly discovered site for these species in Georgia. the Sarracenia psittacina of these bogs are among the largest I have ever seen. It is apparent that S psittacina in highly aquatice habitats allow for giant plant development as seen in Okeefenokee swamp and on Eglin AFB.
Drosera sp. Insectivorous Plant or Sundews
Many Thank to Ryan Brooks for de correct ID : Drosera peltata (Shield Sundew)
Carnivorous plants or insectivorous plants are species that derive most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, mainly insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants appear adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock formations.
Drosera sp
Sundews are sticky flypaper plants. They bear long tentacles on their leaves, and these stalks are tipped with glands which are often brightly coloured. The glands exude attractive nectar, adhesive compounds, and digestive enzymes. Insects that land on the leaves stick fast and are digested. Often nearby glandular tentacles are stimulated and also adhere to the insect, and on many species the entire leaf coils around the prey. These motions are usually slow, taking minutes or hours to occur. An often overlooked aspect of tentacle motion is the fact that a tentacle can bend in just about any direction. But when a bug is caught on a leaf, all the tentacles know the direction to bend towards.
This species was recently fotographed from de misty mountains of Eravikulam National Park, Munnar, idukki, Kerala. And my friend, a Muduva tribe showed me this beauty. Well 'm not an expert to ID which species it is. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Epacris Longiflora: The Fuchsia Heath (Epacris longiflora) is a plant, typically found in Australian belonging to the heath family whose native range extends from the central coast of New South Wales to southern Queensland. The long tubular flowers give it the name longiflora and are present most of the year. Sakuya Konohana Kan-Botanical Garden-Osaka
