Suitland bog, MD

This was my first time ever seeing sarracenia in the wild. I have seen some droseras in the wild near Lake Tahoe but never sarracenia. 

This location is called suitland bog. It is found a few miles outside of Washington Dc. 

The first clump I saw

      Thank you for viewing. It was amazing getting to see sarracenia in the wild, especially for the first time. Sadly, i just learned that these plants are not native, they were introduced from New Jersey. All the plants surrounding the DC area are extinct.

      I just saw your Blog, it is awesome :)
