Adrian Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Many years ago someone planted a few specimens of S. purpurea sup. purpurea in a forest in Dorset UK (they are not native to the UK). The colony grew to such a proportion that the Forestry Commission removed it last year. This is one of the plants "rescued" from it. I hear they are growing again this year! Technical details: Nikon D300S full spectrum conversion, with El Nikkor 80mm lens. Two Metz 45 CL4 flash guns with front window removed.The veining, apparent in visible light, disappears in reflected UV, and the liquid shows a dark tone. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Lovely plants. Do they eat mosquitoes by chance? Link to comment
Adrian Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Not sure, but when I cut open the pitchers, when they are die off, they are usually full of insects - and very smelly! Link to comment
Guest Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I like that inky mottled appearance in UV. Link to comment
