In the Sarracenia family – pitcher plants, the showiest of the carnivorous plants of Florida – there are six major species found along Florida’s trails, with their highest concentration in Northwest Florida.
Pitcher plants range as far south as Okeechobee County but are easiest to find in the westernmost counties of Florida. For in-depth details on Florida’s pitcher plants, see this page by Dr. John David Tobe, presented by Florida DEP.
