AJM and his son went to the Big Thicket last week for spring break. They didn’t mention seeing any flowers…only bog.

there is a lot of bog there.

It’s so irritating that one must have a guide to see native orchids growing in the wild. I’ve never seen any as rumor has it that they are in very inaccessible places. Big Thicket looks like a really cool place.

the big thicket is very cool. and these plants were in a nature preserve just a few feet off the trail. i would not have known what they were if there were not a guide to point them out however.

I have never had the honor of seeing either pitcher plants or wild orchids growing in their natural habitat…how fortunate you were! Here is my meditation today: May our natural areas continue to be natural.

that’s a good meditation. since I didn’t get around to an earth day post, maybe that will stand.
