Sarracenia don’t natively grow where I live, and I’ve never seen any carnivorous plants in the wild before, so while I was on the east coast for work I made sure to try and find some in a nearby national forest yesterday!
I parked next to a promising area (near a reported Sarracenia minor sighting on iNaturalist), walked around for 20 minutes with no luck, and headed back to my car - I was about to give up and get in when I spotted this Sarracenia minor right by where I parked, just across the roadside seepage area!
I got my shoes absolutely SOAKED and had a big spider decide she wanted to climb my arm while I was trying to take pictures, but it was worth it!
