Reminds me of stories my father tells about his childhood. He used to live in Cave Junction, Oregon, and playing with his friends in the woods, every once in a while they'd stumble across patches of Darlingtonia. He talks about seeing a whole field full of them, and how amazing it was. I wish I could find them now. These pictures are very nice!

They look like a bunch of prairie dogs! Which sundews and butterworts are with them?
