The hooded pitcher plant (Sarracenia minor) is a carnivorous herbaceous plant found in swamps and ephemeral Wetlands in four states: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. It is listed as threatened in the state of Florida. The individuals I spotted at Split Oak yesterday had flowers in bloom.
Many trees in Florida support an entire community of other plants that grow attached to the bark such as moss, lichen, and bromeliads. I can count at least 7 species here. Also, notice the bonus spider on the right side!
