Images from the field


































Props to Annie for some of these pics! The photo a the bottom is T. bibracteata in fruit. The other pics are of Terry and me in the field, my intrepid field companion Annie in the Melaleuca forest and of our field site at Frying Pan Swamp. The plant in the middle left is Drosera, the sundew, one of many carnivorous plants that grow in WA. The flowering pink plant in the top right, and also visible in bottom left is Utricularia, another carnivorous plant. This plant is in the same genus as the BIO 112 class uses in their microaquarium! There is so much of it, it makes the entire swamp look like it has a pink carpet.

  1. oops, the pics are in a different order than they appeared in my preview. The Utricularia is visible in the 2nd from the bottom, as well as the top.

  3. Love the pictures! I was "farming" with a guy from Sydney the other night. He has relatives in Knoxville and had gone there last year. Hope you are having a fun time and having lots of success in your studies. I love you.
