Wild pitcher plant growing in a marsh area along the Maine coast.

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

Probably the best I've seen these fascinating plants.

I think this is a Sarracenia. It's a pitcher plant, a so-called carnivorous plant, in the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. The green and red structure in the lower left is a pitcher. Small animals can fall into the pitcher and are trapped, and absorbed, They help furnish nutrients for the plant. The structure in the photo is a flower. It's upside down, with the sepals on top, and the larger petals below them.

I am pleased to be the curator of a Gallery of photos of pitcher plants, by other photographers.

Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

I really love this pitcher that I treated myself to, last Christmas. It was handmade by the very talented Heather Lake, of MadeMud Pottery Studio in Fort Langley, BC, Canada.

I have so many photos I could be posting. Bird photos, flower photos, construction photos, tree photos, I'm so far behind posting I may never get done. So what am I doing posting a photo of pitchers? It was the last thing I photographed today and it was easy to find.

The Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea), or Northern Pitcher Plant is the only species of pitcher plant in Canada, and one of the 18 species of carnivorous plant species in the country. When in bloom, its nodding, burgundy-coloured flowers are pretty easy to spot in the wild, although its growing conditions are highly specialized. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.
