Thanks. I am sorry i dont kiss and tell so easy. Its hard work gettting out there. Its a 14 mile hike. Through swamp with tons of gators, snakes, bears, clouds of mosquitos and chiggers. On the trail the water is knee high on some spots. You will get wet. Theres a balance beam bridge which is really cool till i seen gators on the bottom . Only crazy people put there bodys through this to see a few plants explore, take a walk in nature. Injoy the view, is my best advice.
On a side note my buddy did that hike with me, he said never again. Where i am planning my next trip. But no one wants to go?

What's a chigger?

Amazing to have them growing close to where you live - thanks for sharing - great pics!

Ah ok, totally understand not wanting to reveal location in case of poachers. Although county location won't reveal anything about the actual precise habitat of the plants

I fully understand how miserable Sarracenia habitats can be for humans. Last fall I went running around in bogs quite a bit myself, and by the end of the day was covered in mosquito bites and sweat! Worth it for the plants though! XD
