Sarracenia jonesii!
Why, yes indeed, those tall, lanky leaves are pitcher plants--Sarracenia jonesii--growing in the most delicate
of conditions. These plants grow in the extremely fragile soil environment that fringes the bald. It is amazing to me that
these plants can persist. Think about it--if the water flow became really fierce, these plants would just wash away. On the
other hand, if the water disappeared, these plants would dry up. (Mandy and I spent half a day in this area looking at other
balds, and never found one that was suitable for pitcher plants--all the rest were either too wet or too dry.)
