So here is the pitcher plant I put in last year in my little container bog garden. I'm totally surprised at how pretty this flower is. Reddish brown with downward facing petals. I did not detect any fragrance. The bog and all the surrounding plantings are starting to grow.
We've had a warm winter and a dry spring already. Although we did just get a nice, slow one inch of rain yesterday. I really hoping we don't have drought this year. But it is the south and more times than not we're hot and dry in the summer.

ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful plant! It's looking like it's been there all along!
ReplyDeleteI saw my first flowering pitcher plant two years ago in Oregon. Such an exotic looking plant. I just love your bog garden!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Now I am coveting a pitcher plant! Hum....
