Nice. Fascinating. Great to be transported to the woods of North Carolina for 10 minutes on a Monday morning. I'm doing a golf trip near Raleigh in May, but I doubt I'll experience anything as sublime.
How wonderful. We share many of the same interests and attitudes. I am grateful for your posts as it gives me a sense of community where I can come as a learner. We both wrote about these special plants recently. Mine was for Uniquely Quabbin... I don't have a local population of this member of the carnivorous plant family and I am so glad you found it where it belongs. Thank you for sharing.
It is still in the publisher’s hands. I will send you the link when it is ready. Past editions are online. It is PR for this region and free. https://www.uniquelyquabbin.com/ABOUT-US.php
That last set of photos! How gorgeous. I met some sundews last autumn in a fen, which was the coolest experience. I've never seen photos of Venus Flytraps in the wild I don't think -- it feels totally different looking at them that way. Thank you for sharing!
They are SO beautiful! I hadn't really realised before just how beautiful they are. It's a good job there aren't human sized versions, otherwise I'd be a goner...
Bryan - this was terrific; thank you for your perspective, depth and compassion. Balm to the empaths - the beauty in this world deserves to be safely shared. I love your posts - more power to you
Bryan, I am sure you’ve been on the bog trail at Quoddy Head State Park in Maine? No Venus fly traps, but similar very cool plants. Can’t remember if there were sundews.
Bryan, I love taking trips with you. I do remember encountering my first Sundew in NH. I was thrilled!
Hmm. Wonder if any might be hidden somewhere on Monhegan. Doubtful but possible!
Fabulous. A perfect mix of science, awe, and beauty.
Thanks, Heather. Still in awe ....

Well, maybe that depends on how well you do on those par 3s? 😀

Thanks, Sue! Can I read your article online?

How's this for a sundew? I'm on my way to see it on Easter Sunday (not sure if there's some link there -- I'll figure it out 😁): https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/162096-Drosera-tracyi
STUNNING
Love the picture of the juicy sundew. I find them growing of floating “log gardens” in Adirondack lakes. It’s like going on an egg hunt!
Aren't they so lovely there in the seepy spots? They never disappoint! I'm off to see these on Sunday: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/162096-Drosera-tracyi
