Inspired by the Netflix original series – Stranger Things<\/a>.
\nBecause I like strange plants.
\nThis is dedicated to all of the the stranger Sarracenia.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are some of the freaks.<\/em>
\nYou might even find some of these growing in the Upside Down…<\/em>

Stay strange.<\/em>

Sarracenia “Smurf”<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia “Smurf” at season’s end. Still a freak in dormancy.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Bris’<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Bris’<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia flava lidless seedling<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia flava. var ornata – lidless<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora – lidless<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarracenia flava – lidless splotch throat<\/p><\/div>\n

… And then there is this beyond-strange flavaesque\u00a0thing SO freaky even Demagorgons stay away.
Perhaps one of the strangest Sarracenia I’ve seen so far.<\/p><\/div>\n

So strange.<\/p><\/div>\n

Yes. It is functional and catches prey. The pitchers are generally very open\u00a0 (as you can see) then twists shut approaching the base. This\u00a0completes the weird pitcher formation. Here we have a digested fly in one of the pitchers. There are smaller insects at the base that the plant is feasting on.<\/p><\/div>\n

And\u00a0this is where we must leave off for now. With all this strange-ness in the Sarracenia gene pool, I wonder what other strange creatures may\u00a0appear in future seasons?<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for Stranger Sarracenia – Season 2. \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
