Pitcher plant (Sarracenia)

Garry Fen

This is the flower of the pitcher plant. They are named for their "pitchers" which grow out of fens and bogs and attract insects, for these plants are carnivorous. https://pbase.com/laroseforest/pitcher_plant

Great capture of this very unusual looking plant, and interesting that it's carnivorous. V.

I always think of Newfoundland when seeing these plants as they're so common in that province. A great close up photo of this one.
