In this episode we focus on one of the botanical wonders of Northern California, a plant by the name of #Darlingtonia californica that compensates for the lack of nitrogen in its substrate by trapping insects in modified "pitcher" leaves and using bacteria at the base of the pitchers to digest them. We also spend a few minutes examining modern herbalism - much of which seems rooted in anthropocentric fad for young healthy people more so than any kind of practicality for those who are actually sick and using the secondary metabolites of plants to remediate their ailments.
Some of the Species seen in this episode :
#Pterospora andromedea
#Darlingtonia californica
#Eriogonum compositum
#Penstemon newberryi
#Sedum lanceolatum
#Lilium pardalinum
#Hastingsia alba
