- 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.
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!
One of the best hotspots in the South for carnivores.
Great video! Lots of excellent info!
We were members of the FNPS for several years. These YT videos are great.
Thank you
Very welcome!
Excellent learning opportunity to get the plant names correct and knowledge about how these carnivores species work to get nutrients.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Thank you for such an amazing video.
Very welcome!
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Another great video.
Excellent video! I’ve been there, and you definitely found all the gems!
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.
Fantastic video, thank you!
Gee them big plants
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.
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.
Really enjoyed this
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.
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_ 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 day, the infamous a lone star tick. That little sucker was half way fat with my blood.
Fortunately not complication afterward.
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.
How cold in the winter?
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.

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