Description

This pitcher plant, a carnivorous specimen, is on display in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. Foraging, flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted into the cupped leaf . Pitcher plants attract their prey by visual lures such as pigments or nectar. Most pitcher plants belong to the Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae families. Balboa Park, named for Spanish maritime explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa, is one of the oldest and best parks in the United States. I got the aquamarine background by asking my husband to crouch behind the pitcher.
