Close up of Sarracenia flava in habitat (SE North Carolina, USA)

Copper-colored Sarracenia flava in the Green Swamp near Wilmington, NC, USA, April 28, 1995. The plant was growing among short grasses in full sun. The soil was damp to the touch and was typical of the acidic sand/peat mix found in the swamp. I also found Drosera, Dionaea, Pinguiculas, and more S. flava within 10- 20m. This picture is best appreciated on a big monitor.

I took this photo with a Minolta Maxxum 7000 on Kodak Ektar 25 film. The negative was scanned directly onto a Kodak Photo CD.
