Day 298: Pitcher, but not for Mojitos?


This would be another tropical wonder in the plant world, and a little bit different – Pitcher plant, from the carnivorous group.  Feel like putting your finger in?  Maybe not wise and don’t think the staff at the gardens would be pleased.  They do keep down the flies at any rate, so that has to be a good thing.  I did go to the gardens today in search of the giant bloom of Asia only to discover it isn’t so gigantic anymore.  Three days since it had opened it is now probably seen better days.    The moral of the story is; going to have to be quicker next time.  The remanets were impressive and still quite large, although a wee bit saggy.  Like we all get in old age; however, it is still worth a look.  It is something like a plant out of the Land of the Giants minus the giant so I am sure it is still safe to go.
