From a bugs point of view...

[Keith]

I wanted to try and see what a future victim of my plants voracious appetites might see before he wanders into a trap. I set my little 20$ camera down in the planter and managed to get a few shots that weren't so blurry.

I was particularly inspired by this rockin' Utricularia leaf in behind some sundews.


The D. graomogolensis is growing like a weed.


This was supposed to be a pic of the D. madagascariensis in the foreground, but I think the D. aliciea in the background stole the show.


I really think this point of view stuff is pretty cool and hopefully others have photos of this kind laying around to share here and keep it going!

The pastel hues of these photos give them a sense of ethereal calm. How ironic.

Great shots!

Finally got around to giving this idea another attempt. From a bug's point of view:

Coming in for a landing.

I found some that I have taken! These are from November.

Wow, the sand looks like snow in that first close-up. The flytrap looks like a seedling. And I really like the one looking down the pitcher. Here are a few of mine:

 

[Keith]

wow great stuff guys! That towering forest of pitchers is particularly ominous and I have to agree with Tanukimo that the view into the pitcher is pretty cool!

@Tanikumo: what specie of dew is in the last take? Is that venusta?

 

[lil hokie]

It is but a baby flytrap amongst giant sarrs!

 

[Tanukimo]

Yes Shortbus, it is Drosera venusta. They are a lot redder now that I have them growing in full sun.
