Here’s a new one for me. When was the last time you walked through a field filled with meat eating plants.
Like never ?
This will take a few articles to even try to display each individual species of plant.

Stanley Rehder studied carnivorous plants after studying horticulture at North Carolina State College. North Carolina is home to some of the rarest flytrap plants. There is a field behind a school in Wilmington that has thousands of predatory plants, a few trails to safely walk, and is a free park. All you need to do is find it. We did.
More to come…
That’s quite an impressive collection! We have 18 varieties of the pitcher plant here. Munch, munch 😏
That’s amazing 😃. One of the plants in the field only grows within a 60 miles radious of the spot. We only have a few in the Lowcountry, but many more in the Okefenokee swamp, Georgia. When driving near that swamp Ellen always makes a detour to a field she knows of there. 🤣
What a fun discovery and interesting photos.
In a residential area, behind a grade school. Several groups came together to protect the man’s work and research. The field was actually a decent size. There was a small boardwalk on the edge and big patio stones making a few small trails to walk through all the plants. There were wild flowers and tall grass, but ‘meat eaters’ primarily. Very cool to see.
I’m very jealous. I love carnivorous plants; did my dissertation on them at uni, but we only have a small number of varieties here in the UK; Drosera, Pinguicula and Utricularia. Would love to see Dionaea and Sarracenia in the wild!
Well then I’ll try to get another bat h posted soon 😆. I have never seen anything like this. I must admit shooting scenes like this is more of my wife’s interest. I went for the walk tailing behind her, and her enthusiasm 🤣. So glad I did.
Did you take small offerings with you?
‘No touchier’ place.
So apart from alligators and other things that will try to eat you, now you show me plants that want to have a go too!!! 😯
😂😂, almost like Australia.
