Some plants react to the sun much like humans do, “getting a tan”. It’s called sun stressing!

For this picture I kept one of Scylla’s “mouths” in the shadow (indirect light), so it shows its natural green colour, but I made sure that the other “mouth” enjoyed as much (direct) sun as possible.

The plant is not upset about this experiment at all. It keeps pushing “mouths” like crazy.

    Sarracenia sp. are too cool. We have Sarracenia purpurea that grows wildly here. We’re absolutely lousy with them.
