Newfoundland's Provincial
Flower is the Pitcher Plant. The Pitcher Plant is found
exclusively in swamps and bogs. Bogs are poor in nutrients and the Pitcher
Plant has evolved leaves that are shaped like pitchers. These pitchers
trap water. The plant excretes a sweet substance into the trapped water.
This sweet smelling water attracts insects into the pitcher. The insects
drown, then decompose and the Pitcher Plant aquires their the nutrients
through osmosis. More about Pitcher
