North American Pitcher Plant

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 11 April 2008 in Plant & Nature.

A carnivorous plant I first saw growing in the wild in an East Texas Nature Conservancy preserve. The ones in the photo grow in the Longwood Gardens Consservatory.

I APPRECIATE THE MANY POSITIVE COMMENTS TO YESTERDAY'S PHOTO! :-)

Thank you for visiting. Constructive critique is welcome.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Once again good composition, elegance, aesthetic sensibility. Very good.

This is absolutely beautiful Anita, the plant has a wonderfully elegant shape and a georgous lush green colour.
