Darlingtonia site is worth looking at, but don't plan to spend much time there. Its main attraction is that it has these weird plants that look like nothing you've seen (outdoors) before, and apparently they don't grow anyplace else. The little trail takes 10 minutes to walk, if you linger. More

I have wanted to see these for years. I liked the raised boardwalk, which protected the plants and kept my feet clean and dry. The plants themselves, and this does sound strange, gave off an ambience of greediness. Perhaps because they crowd together so much More
