点评:Did you know that Venus flytraps are only NATIVE to Wilmington, NC and within a 75-100 mile radius thereof? Did you know they have small white flowers when blooming? These and other questions are answered along the trails of this unique garden. A passion project by Stanley Rehder (AKA the Flytrap Man), his <1 acre garden is a site to behold. You WILL see flytraps (some with digested flies), various Pitcher plants, and the pink Sundews everywhere you walk. The walk is along a very dry boardwalk which will end with a few steps down amonf the plants. The property abuts the Piney Ridge Nature Preserve, so you will see the Longleaf Pine restoration project in process as well. This is a must-see for any nature lover. There are several websites to find information on this garden, one of which gave this Blooming Schedule:
March-April:
Yellow Pitcherplant -Sarracenia flava
Crimson Pitcherplant - Sarracenia leucophylla
April-May:
Purple Pitcherplant - Sarracenia purpurea
Hooded Pitcherplant - Sarracenia minor
Sweet/Red Pitcherplant - Sarracenia rubra
May-June:
Venus Flytrap - Dionaea muscipula
May-August:
Pink Sundew - Drosera capillaris
July-September:
Roundleaf Sundew - Drosera rotundifolia
We were lucky enough to see almost all of these plants since we visited in mid-May.
翻译:您知道吗?捕蝇草仅原产于北卡罗来纳州威尔明顿及其周围75-100英里的范围内。您知道它们开花时会开出白色的小花吗?沿着这座独特花园的小径,这些问题以及其他疑问都将得到解答。这座不到一英亩的花园是斯坦利·雷德(又名“捕蝇草人”)的热情之作,绝对值得一看。无论您走到哪里,都能看到捕蝇草(有些里面有被消化的苍蝇)、各种猪笼草和粉色的茅膏菜。这条步道沿着一条非常干燥的木板路,走几步就到了植物之间。该物业毗邻松岭自然保护区,因此您还可以看到正在进行的长叶松修复项目。对于任何自然爱好者来说,这里都是一个不容错过的景点。有多个网站可以查找关于这座花园的信息,其中一个网站提供了以下开花时间表:
