OK…we haven’t been out much this year. Normally we like to visit the parks on weekdays when it is less crowded but even on a Sunday afternoon at Cary State Forest we only saw one family leaving the trail as we arrived. It's a good trail to enjoy the quiet.
We returned to to see the carnivorous plants and take a 2nd longer trail. The Hooded Pitcher Plants are said to be best in March, April, or May. I thought we were going a bit early but I think it was already past “peak” for the plants. If you look at images online, they are never very showy but we did see them on our visit. You can't get close because they are in the water. They are in the center of the picture. It's just a tube of green with a "hood" above it. The hoods were brownish but are supposed to be green like the tube or a bit red.
Different flowers were blooming including this fetterbush.
