Default What Is It?

I found this rather interesting flower/plant growing by the roadside. I have not had a chance to find out what it is but it looks very much like a member of the "Pitcher" plants

I don't know what it is Glayva, but I do know you did one great job of taking it's photograph. Love the contrast of the colours and your focus is spot on. Great work Glayva my friend.

Jake.

I don't know what it is, but I really enjoy looking at it, especially with the amazing detail and lighting you've captured with it. I t does look like some kind of pitcher plant. Thanks for sharing.
