Revisting Cady's Falls: The Cellphone Photos

Pinguicula grandiflora
On Monday, I shared the photos from the good camera from my second visit to Cady's Falls Nursery. Today, I wanted to share some of the cellphone photos of the wonderful Pinguicula grandiflora and some Sarracenia which I saw while there.
Pinguicula grandiflora
As I mentioned previously, the real highlight of the trips was seeing Pinguicula grandiflora, which had been naturalized in the garden. We have nothing similar in terms of Pinguicula flowers anywhere near me, with the exception of the very difficult to access Pinguicula vulgaris, so I was thrilled to see these plants doing so wonderfully.

It was a real treat to see such unusual plants thriving in this environment. I am extremely hopeful that they will do equally well in my home bog.
Sarracenia oreophila
On Monday, I showed a photo of this Sarracenia oreophila which was starting to emerge from its unprotected dormancy, but this photo better captured the whole plant. Just to remind readers, this plant is thriving despite winters which reach -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-34.4 degrees Celsius) and below some nights. This is definitely a hardy species.
Sarracenia purpurea
Of course, I couldn't go without also sharing a photo of the native purps, which were also doing nicely.
