I happened to post on iNaturalist a few old pictures of pitcher-plants (Sarracenia spp) I took when I was doing my dissertation field-work in Alabama back in 2004. One of the folks studying these plants reached out to me. Turns out they are rare and endangered species. The sites where I found them -- entire boggy fields full of pitcher plants -- were wiped out in the name of capitalist growth and real estate development.

The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.

The other day when watering my little nepenthes "Gaya" (a small carniverous pitcher plant), I looked under one leaf to discover not one, not two, but THREE new baby Gayas having started growing on their own! The babies already have two tiny well formed pitchers, plus two more pitchers beginning to form. Very exciting!
The babies and their tiny pitchers are amazing because they are perfect miniatures of the adult plant.

A pumice rock planting with a large ping, an Australian pitcher plant, string of turtles, tiny tears, and moss. This is the first time I have attempted this kind of a planting. This is a few months old. I will like it a lot more when the moss has grown in. #moss #mosstodon #pinguicula #insectivores #pitcherplants #houseplants #carnivorousplants
