There are patches of sundew, but conditions aren't right for pitcher plants.

You're lucky...do you ever see any carnivorous plants there?

Yes, these are wild flowers. I'm fortunate to have a boggy meadow near my house that harbors a several species of orchid.

This flower has a little crab spider just visible inside its "mouth".
