All Volo Bog posts page.
After our journey through the outer shrubland of Volo Bog, you reach the area where the iconic Tamaracks thrive. At first, it seems pretty much the same- very different dominant plant species, but very similar understory. That is, until, you see a great big pile of the endangered Purple Pitcher Plant- plus two of its flowers!!! Conveniently, they are within three feet of the info sign about Purple Pitcher Plants. That, my friend, is really weird*.
*that is seriously what actually happened to my family and I,
