As I blogged here,
we heard about the bog walk at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center. When it came down to it, I decided to stay home with K and sew cool, comfy nursing tops, but DH took the boys to the great swamp for New England Carnivorous Plant Society bog walk. So, this is a compilation of their comments:
M said, "See all those grasses right there? That’s where I got my cuts. I called them cactus grass."
Here is a pitcher plant flower, the don’t eat their pollinators.
If you were a bug, this would be very scary.
John showed the kids the ripe blueberries, thus fulfilling one of my long held educational goals for my children: to know that blueberries don’t come from cardboard boxes.
bladderwort
Not a carnivorous plant, but fringed orchids are rare and "cool!"
I asked M, what was your favorite part of the walk?
"The berries!"
