Here are some carnivorous plants -- a pitcher plant and some sundews/droseras (the little star like plants surrounding the larger pitcher plant) that I saw growing in the acidic waterlogged field at Orono Bog from yesterday's photo. I was completely stunned to see these here because I thought they were tropical plants.So what are the strangest things you have seen in your hometown?

I am amazed by how many tropical plants are in the north. I'm not sure why some are even referred to as tropical.
Great picture of a pitcher plant! I think carniverous plants are fascinating. My son had a pet venus flytrap for ages... he called it Spike. So interesting feeding it ants and bugs and watching it devour them!
They are? I've never seen them here. But then again, I can't really say that I'm a nature girl. I'd love to see a carnivorous plant in action. And it's almost hard to believe that little sundew is carnivorous too — it's so cute.
I must say that your question's a bit difficult for me to answer. I'm in the middle of a big, crazy city!
Wow! Very cool-looking plant.
Am enjoying your photos of your new location.

Paz alerted me to your new cool blog.
I don't think we have many amazing plants like yours on 23rd street.
I trust things are going well for you?
Do keep in touch.
Love your pitcher plant, Ming.
The strangest thing in my hometown are the people! Yep, definitely the people ... I love 'em ...
Beautiful detail in your photo! I love the counterpoint between your photos from the New York City Daily Photo and the Bangor Daily Photo.
I love it when we see the Northern Lights in the fall. They are magical and eerie and beautiful.
Hi Ming!
Sorry for the long absence! But don’t you think it was a great vacation; some very busy weeks and just a few days off... ;)
Great to see you at a new place. I'm ging to learn a lot here!!!
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is still turning around Iceland. Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
Ming...fantastic photo....Reminds me of "Little Shop of Horrors"...I'm still expecting city photos when I visit.....it seems a bit odd...but I'm quite enjoying your surroundings..Dee Dee
I've never seen one of these plants. Stunning photo. Love the contrasts.
Thanks, Ming
