Pitcher Plants



I made an amazing discovery in my back woods (otherwise known as, "The Bush"). This is a pitcher plant. They are common to the Big Thicket, which is where we live. They are carniverous, which means they eat bugs. It makes a sweet smelling liquid inside which traps the bugs and they fall inside. If you want to see these for yourself, go to the Pitcher Plant trail at the Big Thicket. Lucky for me, I can look at them in my back woods.
