Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be "true" pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves. Wikipedia

On the surface of the dark waters, where the stars fell asleep,
Floats Ophelia as a Lily white
Drifting slowly in a transparent veil...

Former power plant, which operated from 1911-2001. - 7 MW BBC steam turbine with turbo alternator, year of construction 1925.
The diverse plants and trees found growing in Joshua Tree National Park, California. Spring was unseasonably cool with thunderstorms in the desert which prompted a quick drive to the park to enjoy and photograph the foreboding storm clouds.
Best viewed large.
These leaves look almost edible! The bushes looked so pretty frosted like this amidst the golden pine needles.
Macro Mondays theme: Fill the Frame (with Plants)
I loved doing this theme as our house is filled with so many different varieties of house plants—almost too many to choose from! I found it difficult to choose between them (although now I've posted them both, I know which I'm going to choose). This one is a variety of Calathea. Trying to capture both the wonderful red underneath the leaves and the pattern on the top of the leaves was a challenge.
Always appreciate all your comments and favourites, HMM!
