To be alive--is Power-- / Existence--in itself-- / Without a further function-- / Omnipotence--Enough-- / / To be alive--and Will! / 'Tis able as a God-- / The Maker--of Ourselves--be what-- / Such being Finitude!

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First by reflection, which is noblest; second by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.

#Mutualism in disguise: #CarnivorousPlants and wasps blur the line between friend and food https://phys.org/news/2026-05-carnivorous-wasps-blur-line-friend.html paper: https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecy.70395
"the #PitcherPlants get a boost in nitrogen by consuming a wasp every now and again, and the #wasps get a stable food source in the form of nutrient-rich nectar. By forgoing the immediate reward of capturing many #insects, these #plants may be ensuring a stable population of prey for the future."

#Nepenthes spathulata has been surprisingly easy to care for. I was under the impression that it might pout under my conditions since my nighttime temps don’t drop as much as they should. Turns out, it’s one of my strongest growers!

The lower pitchers of #Nepenthes vogelii are more or less cylindrical from top to bottom. I don’t have any examples of uppers right now, but I look forward to seeing those infundibular insect traps someday!

Hunting #CarnivorousPlants in the #Florida panhandle. These were so elusive I had to sneak up on them after dark! 😉
Reality: I was driving through the area and happened to know a place these White-Topped #PitcherPlants grow in the ditches along the highway. Comforting to know they're still there when the sun goes down. 🙂
Quick visit due to nasty little biting gnats called "noseeums". 🙁

From my quote bot site @wisdom you said...
"Did research on Rhynchospora plants that grow in this same habitat."
Cool! It appears that is the "beaked sedge"?
I've been fascinated by #carnivorousPlants since childhood. 💕 👍
We have a lot of them in the American SE...
(photo showing three carnivorous plants in one frame, #pitcherplants, #butterworts, & #sundews)
I go on an expedition to find them about every three years. 🙂
