Went out today with Joseph, my 5 year old to do some botanizing.
Here are some photos from the day:
somewhere in the Pines:

The other day I posted this picture of purple bladderwort:
http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pbfiddler/detail?.dir=/64b4&.dnm=3ac1.jpg
This species is S3, a state species of concern.
Compare it with this photo, a much smaller plant, reversed bladderwort:
http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pbfiddler/detail?.dir=/64b4&.dnm=6de2.jpg
This plant is S1, state endangered.
Two other wonderful plants from today--exotics, but not invasive, and doing well in their environment:
Hooded pitcher plant, Sarracenia minor:

and Sweet trumpet pitcher plant, Sarracenia rubra:
http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pbfiddler/detail?.dir=/64b4&.dnm=f3e2.jpg&.src=ph
You can't tell from these photos, as my macro wasn't cooperating, but the S. minor has transparent windows on the back of it, behind the hood, which trick the insects into thinking it is the way out, and the S. rubra does not. The S. rubra also has a purplish flower that has a sweet smell.
