... Lovely view of the most unusual of Canada's official flowers... unique compared to all others... every province has a floral symbol that represents something about their province or territory.... the Pitcher plant was first chosen as a symbol of Newfoundland by Queen Victoria, to be engraved on the newly-minted Newfoundland penny... in 1954 the Newfoundland Cabinet designated this interesting plant as the official flower of the province... it was used on the island's coinage until 1938... sent to celebrate "World Postcard Day" on October 1st😊... Thanks a lot Glenn! (✿◠‿◠)
The pitcher plant is commonly found growing in bogs both in Labrador and on the island of Newfoundland.
Carnivorous plants grow in soil that has little nitrogen. All living things must have nitrogen. Carnivorous plants get nitrogen from the insects they eat.
This plant, named for its pitcher-like shaped leaves at the base of its stem, lures in insects and other small animals by using its brightly coloured red veins as a means of attraction.
