- Take a tour of carnivorous plant of the Apalachicola National Forest in the Florida Panhandle with the Direction of North Florida Programs for the Florida Native Plant Society, Lilly Anderson-Messec.
The Florida Panhandle is a hotspot for carnivorous plant biodiversity, with many species of Butterworts (Pinguicula), Pitcherplants (Sarracenia), Sundews (Drosera), and even introduced Venus Flytraps, Dionaea muscipula.
One of the best hotspots in the South for carnivores.
Awesome information! I'm glad you covered butterworts, i feel like they're often overshadowed by Drosera, Sarracenia, and of course, Dionaea!
This is a great video! I am happy to help support the FNPS and am grateful to have these videos posted here. 😎
One of the best videos for carnivorous plants and expressing the conservation and protection of these plants. As a young'n growing up in Flagler Co. there were butterworts, pitcher plants, sundews everywhere, now with all the drainage and development you will be lucky to find any of these plants.
awesome in my area of Florida I have come across 2 species of sundews, butterworts, bladderworts, and hooded pitcher plants!
We were members of the FNPS for several years. These YT videos are great.
There is no excuse for poaching, with the advent of tissue culture there are many people propagating these plants. Flytrap King in Asheville is a excellent source.
Another great video.
Excellent video! I’ve been there, and you definitely found all the gems!
Excellent learning opportunity to get the plant names correct and knowledge about how these carnivores species work to get nutrients.
Thank you
Fantastic video, thank you!
Thank you
Very welcome!
Thank you for such an amazing video.
Very welcome!
Amazing - I just found out that we have a native butterwort on Long Island where i live - I'll have to keep an eye out for them when I'm out in the woods going forward.
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Great video! Lots of excellent info!
Really enjoyed this
Gee them big plants
Excellent presentation! Any idea where to purchase native Sarraceniaceae in Central Fl.? Tried Kenny Coogan's site but no response from his online contact form. Take care!
Your best bet is either a local native plant nursery, or a large and reputable online grower like California Carnivores.
California Carnivores is a reputable online retailer that grows Florida native species and delivers them.
I’m surprised you didn’t come across Sarracenia leucophylla. They grow there by the many thousands. Seen them there at their peak!
S. leucophylla is not common in this National Forest. One population occurs north of the forest, and a few populations occurs in the south of it, but are not readily accessible.
How cold in the winter?
The capillaris looked more like an intermedia to me. Is it a regional variation?
Yes, some D. capillaris in the panhandle are known at the “long arm” form of capillaris. They look like D intermedia but are not caulescent.
3:55 omg you just stepped on the sundew
Are you sure that's _Drosera capillaris?_ & not _D intermedia?_ or is that the _D. capillaris_ 'Long Arm'?
The _D. capillaris_ that grow in Texas are pretty small. Companion carnivorous plants I saw in the preserve were _Sarracenia alata_ & _Pinguicula pumila._
This is the long arm form of Drosera capillaris
@@floridanativeplantsociety Thanks, when I visited the preserve, it was wonderful watching these plants. What surprised me is how much variety of _Sarracenia alata_ you find there: Yellow tube with red veins, red tube, golden tube wide lids, thin overhanging lids that reminded me of _Sarracenia rubra._
Oh, & I picked up a hitchhiker that same day, the infamous lone star tick. That little sucker was half way fat with my blood.
Fortunately no complication afterward.
I definitely thought it was D. intermedia, too! I didn't know about the 'Long Arm' D. capillaris!
Is there a specific location within the Apalachicola National Forest to find the Pitcherplants? Looking to photograph large areas.
We don’t share specific locations online because of the very prevalent problems with poaching.
She showed a flytrap. I was not aware that the Venus Flytrap was found in that location.
Sarracenia Leucophylla????
S. leucophylla is not common in this National Forest. One population occurs north of the forest, and a few populations occurs in the south of it, but are not readily accessible.

not native to florida, but im sure some lowland species could grow alright given the right conditions.
