FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I was finally able to do my first bog and what an experience that was. Seeing these plants at their best in the hundreds is really something everyone should experience at least once.

Started at a site with some Leucos and Flytraps. It hasn't had a good burn recently so the plants weren't looking to great. I'll begin with saying that this site was littered with these unnecessarily large spiders.


Pretty much every plant was living off a giant mound of red spag.









Next was a small Rosea site. I was told these guys get mowed frequently and sure enough 90% of them were lopped in half.



For the last site I hit the famous Red Tube site! Words can't describe this place, the sea of red once you get deep enough is just jaw dropping. With something near 150 pictures taken at this one site if the rain held back I'd probably have that number even higher.
















Here was one of my favorites, the hood shape was really appealing.


A no-lid.


Another oddball.

Thanks for sharing! I love seeing pitchers in situ.

I didn't think flytraps occurred outside of the Carolinas.

We got plenty down here! At one point it's hard to not walk over them while you're exploring. I would have post some pictures of them but the sun wasn't out yet so the pictures aren't great but I'll throw them up for ya! I didn't take many photos of them because Sarracenias are better

I so want to see something like this. I am going to try and find some next spring here in AK.

Great thread! I haven't been bogging in years now. Thanks for letting me live vicariously.

Headed out again today for round 2. The summer heat combined with bellies full of moths are really taking an effect on the pitchers! Of course, there's always some picture worthy ones hidden out there.









The size of this boy!
