California Pitcher Plant Photo
by Lee Reeder

The carnivorous California Pitcher Plant (Darlingtonia californicus) is found mainly in a small range in Northern California and Southwestern Oregon. I found hundreds of them growing along the northwestern shore of glacial Castle Lake in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. California Pitcher Plants consume insects that are lured by sweet nectar and are trapped in their tubular stalks. The nutrients they derive from the insects allow the California Pitcher Plant to live in nutrient poor soils where many other plants cannot compete with them.
