Truly magnificent.
I’m so glad you took such nice pitchers of those pitchers.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is so cool! I’ve never seen so many in one place!
Me either
I didn’t know any carnivorous plants were native to the US! That’s amazing.
Pitchers, sundews, and flytraps are all endemic! Super cool. There are actually even more than this that have some really interesting mechanisms, including underwater ones!
The US has most of them! In fact, more than half of the world’s species of carnivorous plants are native to the coastal swamps and lowland Sandhills along the Carolina border. We’ve got pitcher plants, sundews, and the poster child of the bunch, the Venus Flytrap.
That’s tremendous! I had no idea!
You’ve made my day. I assumed they came from a tropical rainforest.
Venus fly traps are actually only in the US. The Carolinas specifically.
Some do, but most of them are found right here in the flopsweat belt between Carowinds and Calabash.
I’m embarrassed to say that I learned about it via Fallout 76 but there are some really cool carnivorous plants in North America. Sundews are some of my fave.
Those are native too!? Awesome!
Sweet!
Ah! Friend! I think I know where this is! No worries, I live in Cola Town. Not trying to be weird. I love venomous plants and was so delighted to learn SC had native ones!
Not weird at all. Hey neighbor. I want to visit the bike collective. Glad to be around these parts, truly spectacular and underappreciated nature
Make sure to come on a Tuesday. Tuesday night rides are sick downtown. We go by the river a lot. The bike collective is very dear to my heart. They got broken into a few months ago. People suck. But, as always, not a single one of those dudes is letting it show. Always smiling and helping the community.
I fuck with it heavy. My kinds of folks. It’s now marked on my list, ty.
Side note, promise it’s the last thing; southern goodbyes am I right? If you leave CTBC and go underneath the bridge, you’ll be on a greenway straight to new Finlay Park paths to the Vista
I am always glad for Southern goodbyes. One of the really good Southern ways opposed to the many that leave a bad taste in my mouth.
That sounds very exciting. Bicycle infrastructure is a very big deal to me. I will not forget this maybe I will even have the forethought to post a follow-up picture in the next year or two in response to this comment right here.
Okay, I’m tagging you. So, let me know when you’re in town and DM me! I’d love to meet for a ride! I just got a secondhand motobocane that’s pretty nice for my all round utility bike.
Locked in. Hell yeah friend.
Those are stunning!
👋 Fr I was so stoked.
