I assume you mean outdoors. Yes there are lots. But why not focus on what
you *can* grow? Sarracenia purpurea (purple pitcher plant), and at least
one Drosera that I know of (my knowledge in this area is weak) are native
to your area of the US. There may also be native Utricularia and Pinguicula
-- bladderworts and butterworts respectively. In addition, some of the SE
US Sarracenia may be hardy in your area. Do some reading -- start with Don
Schnell's Carnivorous Plants of the US & Canada (or buy it as mentioned on
this list a week or so ago for only 5.95 plus 3.00 S&H). And by all means
read the excellent CP FAQ at
http://www.indirect.com/www/bazza/cps/faq/faq.html

Welcome to the list,
