The plants are a sundew and a pitcher plant. BC found them yesterday on a trail in the Big Thicket National Preserve here is East Texas. These guys use their flowers and scent to lure in insects and then when the bug gets stuck they digest it for the nutrients. Fortunately they don't eat people.
We are staying at Martin Dies Jr State Park near Jasper , TX and visiting the Big Thicket area. This is a lovely, peaceful spot. We are surrounded by hugh pine trees and magnolias. The lake in front of our campsite has herons, egrets, fishermen, etc. This area is very different from the other parts of Texas we have visited.
