I went hiking on Saturday and came across a bloom I ’d never seen before .
This strange and quite big efflorescence was growing by itself at the border of the woods and a mucky field . It was on a single chaff emerging from the ground , with a few old jaw up leaf at its base . When I first saw the flash of red at the border of the subject field , I cogitate it was just some Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree bequeath that had gotten caught on some sticks . It was n’t until I flummox close that I saw how remarkably the bloom was .
Unfortunately , a thunderstorm was blowing in and I did n’t have my camera , so I leave the country and determined to hike back again after church on Sunday so I could get hold the flower again and take picture .
I did , and find it again . The first clip I saw it , I think it was not all the fashion capable – but on closer inspection , I do n’t think it was ever meant to open all the path .
After taking photos , two of my daughters and I hike far back into the swampland to see what else we might find .
To our delectation , we see some of the most remarkably plants we ’ve ever seen . First one , in the muck beneath some pines :
And then more :
And then , in a clearing , a lot more !
Pitcher plants everywhere !
As we hiked , we made a further uncovering . The origin of our inscrutable violent flush was revealed !
Beside multiple pitcher plants were salad days just like the one we had receive standing alone in the field .
Now that was an interesting nature walk .
“ fly sheet welcome ! ”
