Hello,
after spending some time in Santa Rosa County we continued our way to the east and finally arrived at a small location in Okaloosa County. The plants were growing close to a small lake. We could see the plants already from some distance. As we came closer we realized, that we stood in front of a dense population of Sarracenia flava var. rugelii.
There have also been some S. leucophylla:
Wherever you find some species growing together it is worth looking for their hybrids. What we found here have been some amazing plants, certainly the nicest hybrid we saw at the whole tour:
The picture do not at all show what the plants look really like
As in most places, there have also been some D. filiformis var. tracyi as well as some Pinguicula:
On one of the hybrids we could find one od the lynx spiders doing his job:
The next day we spent the morning on the Eglin Airforce Base, where we found the following plants:
There was not much more to see at this place, so we decided to drive a bit and look out for some more plants somewhere else. The next thing we found was this little creature:
A few days later we got to learn, that this snake was a pigmy rattle snake. A bite can cause some serious problems, but we were told it's not lethal.
U. cornuta is worth metioning of what we found some minutes later:
ALso, there have been the following two Drosera:
We left the Airforce Base in the early afternoon to drive further east to a location where we were hoping to see some of the red D. filiformis.
