Another photo...

At the bottom center you can see a venus flytrap with a bloom stalk in bud (the cluster of white dots).

Behind that and slightly to the right (behind the iris) you can see a "tentacle" of the threadleaf sundew.  It's unfurling vertically.

On the far left and far right are clumps of pitcher plants.

But the main purpose of this photo is to show the unusual stem shape of iris tridentata.  It is reminiscent of Iris brevicaulis, yet tridentata seems even weirder to me.

Thanks for indulging me!

Dennis in Cincinnati, glad I got those photos before another big storm rolled in.


PS:  OH!  I forgot to mention that ALLLLL those plants are native to Eastern USA.  That's one reason I'm especially proud of this bog bed.  Native orchids... native irises... native carnivores... and so many blooming in unison.  Yay!!!  What's not to love?!?  You can be jealous now.  :-P
