Now that I’m back to dealing with my drafts, we’re gonna look at how fucking weird pitcher plants’ flowers are. Well, the whole plant is weird I guess, but after how conventional the fly traps’ flowers are, these are indeed bizarre. When we saw them, they were towards the end of their bloom cycle, but they’re like…a fleshy simulation of a flower, with the basic standard shape but lacking the feel. Two different species here: Sarracenia flava and S. purpurea, colors coordinating with those of their pitchers.

I love them
