Pitcher Plants 29 images Created 3 Apr 2012
Known from scattered populations across North America from North Florida to Western Canada in areas with nutrient-poor soils, pitcher plants inspire every emotion from wonder to horror. Like all carnivorous plants, coloration and nectar glands attract insects where a series of hairs inside the pitcher (a modified leaf) encourages the insect downward into the tube until it cannot turn around and escape. From here, it will be digested slowly.
