| I found purple pitcher plants flowering in the rain last week on the edge of a bog in the New Jersey pine barrens. |
 |
| Downward facing flowers with thick red petals. |
 |
| I had to crawl underneath to see a face. |
 |
| Gracefully curving stems. |
 |
| A strange pterodactyl of a flower. |
 |
| Click on the photos to enlarge. |
 |
| The insect-trapping pitchers at the base of the flowers are well developed, too. Note the new little ball of a flower beginning to rise on a red stem in the left rear of the photo. Pitcher plants -- one of many great things to see in the Jersey pine barrens. |
