pitcher plants

Garden in the Woods, June 2009

An outdoor garden with several rare and exotic species - if you can find them and catch them in bloom. I visited too late for most species of cypripedium this year, and I also missed out on several species of trillium I hadn't known existed, but the pitcher plants were in bloom.
