What pretty colours and patterns!
Thank you, Anne!
Very beautiful. Such deep color! Amazing ❤
Thank you, Maria! x
❤️
I didn’t know pitcher plants turn red in fall. Gorgeous!
Thank you, Audrey. Yes, they turn this lovely wine red – amazingly sturdy plants!
Are these carnivorous? Pitcher plants? They couldn’t be. Not in your climate?
Yes, they are. They live all the way up to Canada, so are dormant half the year. I read an article that they will trap and devour not just insects, but salamanders, too. That was news to me.
Fascinating! Another new little world (for me). And it makes the photograph both more and less appealing. Mesmerising maybe? A haunted beauty?
Thank you, Albert. You’ve described the feeling of being there perfectly!
MAGIC ELIZA, HAPPY SUNDAY, CHINA
Thank you, China, and for reblogging!
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Hawley Bog? I went there a few weeks ago hoping for something like this only to find just one. They are such wonderful richly colored plants.
Yes, it has been a drier year than usual, so many have gone dormant early. Let’s hope for more moisture ahead, which looks to be the case at least this week.
I’ll put it on my itinerary for next weekend. 🙂
Beautiful rich colours
Thank you!
Lovely colours Eliza.
Thank you, Dawn!
Would be a fun surprise if some Bog Fairies were playing ‘hide-and-seek’ in those.
I once took a selfie in the inner reflecting pool… does that count? ;D
I consider that a good count…photo, please! 😁 especially if you consider yourself a Bog Fairy!
Hehe! Maybe a blog fairy? 😉
Beautiful, unique capture!
Thank you, Laura!
Lovely and frosty. Wonderful contrasting colors.
Thank you, Laurie. It sure has been cold out there lately!
Yup. Winter is here.
How wonderful! Never seen anything like them.
Thank you, Allison. Eastern US has several pitcher plant and sundew natives. Bogs are pretty nutrient deficient, so these plants have adapted to creating their own.
Love those colors, Eliza. Wishing you a peaceful Sunday. 💕
Thank you, Julie. Same to you!
Wow, I assume this is in a natural area, not your garden? I would love to see sarracenia in situ. Great photo!
Thank you, Loree. Yes, this is a rare bog to see this far south of Canada. I love visiting it in all seasons as each are so different and offer much to see.
It is used as an ecological teaching spot for area colleges, co-managed with TNC. It is rare to see people there, which makes the solitude all the more wonderful. You can read more here if you are interested: https://wp.me/p3O3z4-23I
Fantastic photo, Eliza. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Nice to see something beautiful not covered in snow!
Thank you, Chris. For some reason, we’ve escaped the snow… for now.
OK…blog Fairy…that’s a great name!
🙂
Lovely autumn color and photo!🙂
Thank you!
Wow, I’ve never seen pitcher plants like that. Those in our local botanic garden are hanging vines – and they don’t have that fabulous foliage.
These may be the hardiest of Sarracenias, as they grow even in the bogs of Canada. I love their veining and fall color (they are green with reddish veins in summer).
Beautiful pattern in the leaves. Nice photo, Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at so I peeked at your tags, Eliza. What gorgeous rich and deep colors. Just beautiful!!
Thank you, Amy! Yes, I forget that not everyone would know this plant. Good thing for tags. 😉
Amazing photo. I forgot you were near a bog. I need to educate myself on bog, wetland, swamp. I know there is a difference…
Thank you, Lisa. I think a bog is non-draining, and characterized by layers of vegetation like peat and sphagnum moss that build over time. Wetlands and swamps can be fresh or brackish, as well as partially draining. I may have missed a characteristic or two!
I love the color and patterns. Such a deep, rich red. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a bog (we’re marshy and swampy here).
Thank you, Robin. Did you have pitcher plants at the Bogs?
We did. There are a few remnants of bogs in NE Ohio where you can find the Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea).
Beautiful! I love bog plants. 🙂
Thank you, Joanna! I remember the post you did about Orono bog…a lovely place.
Wow, how gorgeous! The shapes and colors are amazing!!
Thank you, Donna!
What an unusual plant and such vivid colours. Very attractive and beautifully captured too.
Thank you, Vicki. It is a carnivorous pitcher plant.
So gorgeous!
Thank you, Fi!
Eliza, these grow at the lake! Extraordinary plants and you’ve captured their beauty. I hope to grow some here in Florida in a little mini bog I’ve created. The garden is getting there ever so slowly.
I’ve been thinking about you and your sweet casa del sur. Hope all is well and you’re enjoying your frost-free world. 🙂
Wonderful coloration
Thank you, John.
I love the color of the leaves!
Thank you, Dennis!
This is amazing info Eliza. Thanks!
Thank You!
