Darlingtonia californica (California pitcher-plant)

Found in boggy areas with running water, this carnivorous plant traps insects that, once "digested," provide vital nutrients for the plant's survival.

Special thanks to Robert Hotaling, Chris McCarron, Barry Rice, John Stebbins, and the UC Botanical Garden.

The Plumas National Forest is located in the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains.
