Another carnivorous plant from Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, USA.
*****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.

It could be a vase, or a sculpture or a piece of art glass. Marvelous!

Good morning, Anita. I like the focus on the "mouth" of the plant here as well as the color. I could see how it might trick an insect into becoming its next meal.
