Wet savannah:
We arrived at this nice wet field with pines and cypress. Almost immediately we found gems like this lovely
Sarracenia psittacina in the moist soil. Unfortunately,
there was also some obnoxious litter left by some other carnivorous plant enthusiasts,
trash left by "old man Northrup."
My primary interest was in looking for Pinguicula ionantha, a species I had not seen in the wild. Oh sure, on my last
trips to Apalachicola I had seen rosetted Pinguicula plants that could have been
Pinguicula ionantha, but since they were not in flower I couldn't be sure
they were not P. lutea (my eye wasn't skilled enough for that distinction). I was hoping to see a plant in
flower, to make the identification definitive.
