The pitcher has a striking mottled pattern of red and green, with a rim (called the peristome) that’s striped in red and yellow, which helps lure insects.
This plant is carnivorous — it traps insects in the liquid inside the pitcher, digests them, and absorbs nutrients.

The elegant, preening, Egret in Sandy Creek, Durham, N. Carolina on 08/23/25.

I'm on an Egret streak. Flamingoes qualify also.

A color photo of a white Egret, perched on a branch while preening. The background is also white, though the bird is clearly visible & has a long neck and "stilt" long legs. 📷 Michael Hugo

Nothing to hide
Flower with long delicate petals that are white from the centre, turning light pink at the tips. The centre is also pink but darker. Beautiful open spread. Nothing to hide!

best observed in widescreen
Two orange field flowers with a black and white ring at the centre which is striking. In the field there are also 3 yellow flowers, one which is mostly hidden. The flowers are bedded with a variety of green leaves.

Can anyone identify this beauty?
Strange insect on a green leaf. Head and bottom are orange as are points that run down the body. Whispy hairs radiate out of the creature. No idea what it is?
