Something...
We did manage to find a few carnivorous plants in the wiregrasses like this Drosera capillaris, but
you can see that I am really stretching myself by trying to keep your attention with this mundane species.
The plants above looked perhaps like it might be a specimen of "long-leafed"
Drosera capillaris, perhaps slightly reduced in size for the winter. Brian seemed to think so,
and he found a few plants he assessed as being "long-leafed"
in further stages of development.
Drosera capillaris is a weird plant in Florida.
Night was falling, so Brian and I went our separate ways (he was staying in Carrabelle). We set a time to meet the
next morning in Apalachicola, at the only store in a tiny town with the unlikely name of Sumatra.
I returned to my hotel in Tallahassee. Along the way I once again became concerned with the terrible crimson stain flooding
the light brown carpet of my rental car. That evening I struggled to for another 30 minutes to clean it using cleanser
from the hotel staff, but for all my labors
the stain was if anything brighter than before.
