Pitchers at this site tend to have unusually red lids. Due to drought it was difficult to find intact pitchers, but this one displays some nice coloration.

Today, the bog garden is showing of it's best of Sarracenia flava var. flava (yellow pitcher plant) flowers. There are other varieties (and colors) in tight bud. So, for the next few weeks, there will be additional shots that will show the variety in color of the pitcher plant flowers.
This is one I bought last year, so it's the first time it has bloomed. I believe it has some Sarracenia alata in its parentage because of the way the petals flare out toward the apex.
There was a bit of a let up in the days and days of rain we have been having, so I decided to photograph a few of the Carnivorous Plants that are currently blooming in my front yard bog garden.
