It was a bit of a suprise to see this plant shooting again, I am not totally sure why it is either. Wollemia nobilis. www.wollemipine.com/
The spag needs a trim. On this place the foreground has all of last years pitchers and the background pitchers are the new ones. This plant is a really good grower. :) Again, the owner feeds them top quality drugs.
This plant has died three times I think, so far. It recently died off and came back rather quickly and when I took a closer look, I saw little tiny pitchers formed and forming. :) That hairy pitcher you see in the middle of the screen is about 5mm long from top to bottom, methinks. Hence why I did not see them till I took a closer look.
Beside the local ponds the seed heads of grasses or rushes are nodding gently in the wind. Thanks to L'herbier en photos for identifying it as Queen Anne's Lace or Wild Carrot. Daucus carota - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Daucus_carota...
