EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness a mesmerizing alliance between two remarkable plant species. The star of the show is the insectivorous Cobra Lily (Darlingtonia californica), with its striking resemblance to a slithering serpent ready to strike. Its vibrant green hues and intricate patterns are truly awe-inspiring. But wait, there's more! Sharing the spotlight is the delicate beauty of bog asphodel (Narthecium californicum), adding a touch of elegance to this botanical partnership. Together, they create an enchanting scene in the Klamath Mountains of North California. These cunning carnivores have evolved unique adaptations to lure unsuspecting insects into their clutches. With their alluring colors and enticing scents, they entrap their prey within specialized structures, ensuring no escape for those unfortunate enough to be lured in. This extraordinary snapshot showcases not only nature's creativity but also highlights the diversity found within American flora. Endemic to North America, these plants proudly represent our continent's rich biodiversity. So let your imagination run wild as you gaze upon this fantastic fusion of beauty and danger! Marvel at Mother Nature's ingenuity while keeping one eye open for any unwary insects who dare venture too close. . .
