Pitcher Plant

Our camera club is participating in a service project where we are photographing 20 + species of plants found in the bog for booklets which guides will use in helping others learn what plants grow there in and out of season. Pitcher plants are carnivorous and you can see the little hairs inside the "pitcher" here which trap poor little bugs who wander in too deeply. I really liked the way the light was falling on the Spagmum Moss surrounding it.

So beautifully detailed image. I was noticing how pretty that light was too. I hope this goes in their booklet

[Milanie]

Wonderful idea to use the camera club to document these - you got a terrific shot of the pitcher plant with wonderful detail and lighting.

[Nicole Campbell]

A beautiful crisp and clear image Ann, that sounds like a very interesting project to be part of

[Lou Ann]

This is really a wonderful photo. The light on the pitcher plant is great.

Thank you Katy, Milanie, Nicole, and Lou Ann! There are about a dozen of us taking part in this. It's exciting. I'm not sure if this one will be selected by the "project manager" but several of my photos will definitely be in the booklet.

beautiful image - what an interesting project to be involved with

[Lynda McG]

Nice colours and composition- interesting info too! Just looks like a fallen leaf - those poor bugs!

[bruni]

Great information. the lighting is superb. hoping it'll be chosen.fav.

This is fascinating and very different than the ones we have near us. I’m assum8ng their reason for being carnivores is the same though, ours grow in such nutrient deficient bogs that there is no other way to get energy if you’re a plant.

It took a minute but I found a picture of ours https://365project.org/pandorasecho/365/2015-08-13

Lovely shot, good detail of the plant.

[Henri Russell]

What a great project for your camera club. I love the lighting in the pitcher plant.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely capture and such an interesting looking plant. I think is sounds like a great project, too.

[Phil]

Love the greens, but the pitcher plant is so striking too!

[Helen Jane]

What a great project. The light is perfect for this shot - good to learn something about this fascinating plant.

[wendy frost]

Lovely capture and light and with great details.

@pandorasecho Yes- it's very different from ours although operates under similar circumstances. The Tannersville Cranberry bog is the southern most Boreal bog (literally meaning the southern most northern bog!) in the US. As our climates and geography are different from yours, I would imagine the make-up of the bog "soil" is different too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannersville_Cranberry_Bog in case you want to read more about it.
