Botany Field Trip & Carnivorous Plants

[Tindomul]

These are cool!
Found these at a bog we visited today for a Botany Class. Collected them for my Herbarium that I will get graded on. Right now they are all being pressed and dried (such a shame, wish I could have kept some alive).

Drosera sp? Its a sundew, such a pretty yet deadly(to bugs) thing.


A Utricularia sp? Bladder wart, lives underwater and shoots one pretty orchid like yellow flower out of the water.

And this is why they call it bladder wart, cuase it have tons of little bladder that are used to catch tiny aquatic crustaceans.


And finally a way kool!! Sarracenia purporea. This is a Pitcher plant, the bug goes in, in search of food, and will NEVER come out :devil: There are little hairs on the inside of the cup that prevent the bugs from climbing out. They can't fly out cuase they are all wet. That and there is no room.


These are all native to New York
