In the photos of the pond note the damage from weedeater and goose poop.  The manicured lawn encourages canada geese which in turn kill the sphagnum and carnivorous plants.  As a group, the plants were healthy especially considering they’re living in a sub development!

There were a few surprises too.  I was amazed at how much shade the purple pitcher plant can tolerate.  The upright pitcher plants definitely don’t do well in part sun though.   The one plant I found was on its last legs.  Also of interest is a purple pitcher plant leaf with a flesh fly maggot swimming around eating bugs.  Tasty!
