A nice glowing capture. Seems you’ve got a blossom of a pitcher plant. See @Kris_Smith’s image and engaging description from earlier this summer. > [@We're all fine here...how are you?](https://community.naturephotographers.network/t/were-all-fine-here-how-are-you/41889): > > Critique Style Requested: Standard The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image. Description Ok, I had a little fun with the title. Sometimes I can’t help myself. If you’re old enough to have seen this movie in theaters, woo hoo!! I saw it at a drive in. Good times. Anyway…these are three Purple Pitcher Plant flowers that I saw on a kayaking trip with a bunch of oth… ---

Thanks @BobN and @Diane_Miller What I do NOT Know about Flora and Fiona could fill an encyclopedia. The Pitcher Plants I am familiar with are what @Bill_Chambers captured here > [@Standing Above the Rest](https://community.naturephotographers.network/t/standing-above-the-rest/13337): > > A Mini-Landscape. I shot this naturally occurring hybrid Pitcher Plant in a bog not far from my house in northwest Florida. It took several years for the perfect conditions, but my patience was finally rewarded. It was a bit windy so I raised ISO a bit to be able to shoot @ 1/2000 to minimize any motion. What technical feedback would you like if any? Any & All What artistic feedback would you like if any? Again, any & all Pertinent techn… Diane’s look new and fresh mine was on it way out. Both types were growing together where I found mine. ---

Yes, this is a Purple Pitcher Plant flower and they’re one of my favorites because they’re so odd. Not sure what’s going on with the processing, but there’s so much smeary blur all around that it’s difficult to find the structure and texture of the flower that I know is there. They are deep and wide flowers so sometimes getting them all in focus front to back is tough. I’ve only ever done it with long lenses at some distance from the plant. And yes, it is a carnivorous plant and often grows with sundew in bogs where evolution has come up with this adaptation because bogs are so low in nutrients. It’s fascinating.
