Randy, I very much appreciate your feature of Green Pitcher Plant in the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind comment, Randy. Actually, the 'pitchers' trap insects which the plant digests as food. Whether or not there is rainwater in them is inconsequential.

Glad you captured a picture of this pitcher plant ANN, LOL, as it is quite unique, and I can see where it got its name, as it serves as a container to capture water for the tiny creatures to partake in. neat plant, and thanks for sharing!
